Outdoor Fun

There will be several posts coming in rapid succession....I had to move all the pics on my phone to the computer cause I was out of storage so I didn't have them to put with the posts. But all is fixed now so let's start with......

Beaches and Playgrounds

We have been to either a beach or a playground almost every day this summer. She loves climbing and doing the slides and especially loves the playgrounds with sand - cause that's like a two for one deal. Lately she has been bringing her "kitty" to play at the playgrounds with her. She likes when other kids are there only if they are a little older than her and there aren't too many. If there are babies or lots of kids, most times she'll opt out. The playground by our house has a big soccer/t-ball field next to it, and we spend lots of time in there playing in any dirt or kicking/throwing balls. She likes to push the stroller there and the other bonus is since July, we've either been able to pick Juneberies or raspberries along the way.

Swimming "lessons" paid off! She has loved going in the water and even tried out her little arm floaties. We have lots of beaches we've tried out and sand is the favorite, but throwing rocks is great fun too. She has even gotten her face and hair wet and it wasn't traumatic. She used to like having her swimming suit on but lately would much rather be naked.
