Fun at the Park

Life has been so busy lately that we haven't stopped to enjoy the simple things (like playing at the park).  Last Saturday after running errands and completing chores we took a break at the park.  Ava was so excited and Rich looked forward to flying our kite.  When we first got there we flew the kite.  Ava enjoyed it for a bit, but preferred playing on the playground.  It was a fun outing and great to just play together.

Ava really liked running around with the kite.  The only problem is she kept running the wrong way and the kite would not stay up.

I just love seeing the smile on Ava's face and know she is happy.  It makes me happy.

Ava got the kite up high a few times.

Rich had a good time flying the kite and was sad when Ava was ready to move on to the playground.

Ready, Get Set, Go!

Rich got stuck and Ava won.

Hi-5 before the race.

I kind of got stuck too, so Ava won again.

At first Ava enjoyed the climbing wall.

I think this picture looks cool, but by this time Ava was saying, "get me down."
