Weekend at the park

We took the kids to Walker Springs park twice this weekend. I really love that park. It's small and confined, so it's a perfect place to watch 3 kids at once.

Josh had a blast on the swings - he couldn't go high enough! He's still learning about pumping your legs and getting himself going, so he likes one of us to push him.

Callie took a few minutes to warm up to the whole idea of swinging and sliding. Phil put her in the swing the first time and she did NOT like it (she loved it last year). She climbed up to the slide for the first time and decided she didn't want to go down alone. So, I slid down with her the first time...after that, she was ok. She never tried to go down w/out getting help first, though. :) Sunday afternoon, she climbed to the top of the slide and said, "Help! Hold my hand!". So, I reached out to hold her hand and she changed her mind...she said, "No!" and got up and did something else before finally getting brave enough to slide down. Once she went down once, she was okay, but she always wanted someone right there to catch her.

Emma, on the other hand, has no fear! The girl climbs to the top of the slide and slides down whether anyone's there to catch her or not. She went down head first down the spiral slide...I think it scared her a little, but did it stop her? No way! I don't know how many times she went down the slide while I was helping Callie...she scared me to death! :) She loved the swings, too! She couldn't swing high enough. Phil put her on his lap on the big swing. After that, she wanted nothing to do w/ the "baby" swing. :) She saw some bigger kids on the monkey bars, so she wanted on those, too!

I'm not used to having a daredevil. Josh was always very cautious.
