A Picnic in the Park...

Today, we decided to enjoy the beautiful weather! Little A, Graycop and I drove to Sassy's school to pick her up from preschool. Then, we took a leisurely ride up to Wichita. We enjoyed the fresh air, and the girls spent the majority of the time giggling as the wind infiltrated our car.

We made a special stop at Sugar Sisters to obtain a lunch for our picnic... chicken salad for Mommy & Graycop and PB&J for Sassy and Little A. We arrived at one of our favorite parks and found a spot at a picnic table. The girls were thrilled to eat as the very friendly rather aggressive ducks begged and quacked at our feet.

Mommy even splurged and bought four strawberry babycakes for my babycakes... and Graycop...



After our picnic, we ventured over to the playground area. Sassy quickly "disappeared" and made some new friends. Little A has amazed me this year with her gumption in regards to the playground offerings. She is pretty fearless... she has no qualms about climbing up the biggest, steepest latter or wall that exists there. Nope, not Little A!



Sassy doesn't do such a poor job, herself...



Little A found it greatly entertaining to pick up wood chips and toss them in front of her. I though it was cute. Until another mama told her little guy that is was naughty to throw wood chips as she glared at Little A. Time to pick up and move to another station...



Sassy took a few turns on the droppy slide, so named for it's steep drop, I think...



It was fun to watch Little A test her hand-eye coordination on the ladders. She is really getting better and better at multi-tasking and accomplishing more complicated gross motor feats.





And, in my humble opinion, you'd be hard pressed to find more joy than in the face of a child enjoying a swing through the beautiful spring air...



We had to visit the pond one last time to bid farewell to the ducks, and we were on our way home... ready for sweet, sweet slumber.



Can I get a great big YES for naps?
