Fun at the park

Before dinner tonight we went for a walk to the park. We let Allie out of the stroller and played on the playground a bit. It was so fun. It was just starting to get cold when Allie was really starting to walk last fall, so we didn't make many trips to the park. Now that spring is springing, however, we will be going there a lot.

The playground surface is pebbles and Allie had to "study" them with her feet before she'd walk on them.

Then when she was comfortable she went for the jungle gym!

And of course when she got up to the top, she went straight for the tube you crawl through. I could fit through there with her, but Dada had to climb up the other side so she wouldn't fall out of the tube. This was funny as it was a little awkward for Dada to climb up there!

Then Dada took Allie down the slide. They both had a ton of fun.

And then Allie walked around some more. We only had a half hour while the ham baked, so we didn't get to stay too long. But it was long enough! We let Allie walk the whole path from the park back to the road. If we'd had more time we would have let her walk as far as she wanted. She looked so off balance the whole time that we thought she'd fall. We also thought she'd go straight to the mud. She did niether. She was such a big girl!

I love these pictures. I'm not a photographer by any means and my camera isn't very fancy. But I love the lighting right before dusk! I'll have to get some of these framed!
