Picnic At The Park

On Monday afternoon, we decided to get out of the house. We packed a picnic lunch and headed to the lake. We had planned on eating at the lake, but it smelled really bad. We think it was the algae that was growing near the dike. So, after we let Hannah look at the water and the birds ("gucks" . . . all feathered creatures are ducks) we left for the park.

Hannah enjoyed climbing up the stairs to the slides and riding on the bouncy toys. It is so weird for us to watch her running around and playing at a park. It seems like just yesterday I was pushing her past that very park, while she slept soundly in her stroller . . . so tiny and swaddled in a blanket. I treasure those memories, but I must admit, it is a lot of fun having a toddler!
