A Grand Day Out At the Park

We had a nice little sample of spring last weekend, so our little family decided to take advantage of the nice warm weather and spend some time at one of the local parks.   Ben is just about old enough now to start enjoying the park and its many splendors of swinging, sliding and climbing fun.

We brought Ben over to try out the swing first.  They had one that was just the right size for him.

The only swings that Ben's been in so far have been the little baby swings inside the house that are all cutesy, soft and play music.  It took him only a few minutes to warm up to the idea of such a big swing...

Then he really started to get into it...  Here he is giving his approval of the swing!

You just can't beat smiles like this - they just make your day...

Next up was the slide. 

But the little kids playing off the side seemed to be much more interesting to Ben. 

Wait, it wasn't just the kids that he was interested in...

It was that big doggie that was ten times the size of Lybbie! 

Then it was time to go and make some noise.  There were these chimes that were hanging on the side of one of the gyms.  Bang on them and they make a great noise...

These were VERY interesting to Ben.  I think he may just become a musician some day after hearing him bang on these for a while.   Don't you like my music??

We all had a great afternoon at the park.  It was a Grand Day Out! 

Come'on Ben - Smile!  Naw, he's too tired.  Its time for a nap now...
