Summer Days

Picnic lunch at the park.

Cooking with the butterfly net on her head. Caught herself, she did.

Happy Day!

We went to the park twice on Friday. That Grace is becoming a pro on park etiquette. She understands she has to share and be gentle with her friends. This is our favorite park. It's close to our house, it has a slides, swings, and a water feature. It's mostly shady and it is rarely crowded during the week.

Sliding! We keep a park basket in the car with sand toys, bubbles and sidewalk chalk in it. We have used it a lot this week -- perfect park weather.

That Grace loves to color and write. She also loves her stickers. She sat at the table coloring and saying "happy day, happy day." Oh, that's her bunny harness. We don't use it much as a harness any more but she likes to put on the bunny backpack part and wear it around the house.

Part Two

We had such a big day, it's taking up two posts. After the zoo, we went to the park for a picnic (if you count take-out as a picnic, which I do).


She's really only interested in the slides. She does not really like to swing. She hated the carousel at the zoo, but she loves the slide.

That Grace hates the vacuum (which is the only reason I so rarely use it!), but I had to vacuum up some crumbs tonight. She ran into her room and this is where I found her when I finished. The book is Everywhere Babies, still her favorite book. She likes to "count" all of the babies.
