A Beautiful Day For...

Finally, the glorious fall weather has arrived! Sunday, my Dad and I took advantage of the gorgeous weather and spent some time with the girls outside. We drive to one of our favorite parks, which we had nearly to ourselves, and we played, played, PLAYED!

The girls rocked it with their sunglasses:





They are such little hams!



Tink played hard. She swung. She slid. She skipped. She did it all...



Sassy took on the large rock as her challenge. She worked hard to get to the top, and was very proud of her accomplishments!



She made me a bit of a nervous wreck up there, but she was confident in her abilities. I even turned away as she leapt off with reckless abandon, but I didn't stop her. See, I'm getting better...



Then, the cutest thing happened. My Dad and I stood on the other side of the playground, allowing the girls to have their independence while keeping them in sight through one of the center structures. It's so funny to watch how they play when they think no one is watching... Sassy spent a considerable amount of time teaching Tink how to do cartwheels. SO cute...



They truly are my little sweet peas:



On the way to Winfield, my Dad taught the girls a "GO BEARS!" chant, so they were all geared up to cheer on their team from afar. However, at the park, they were with their team, both in spirit and... er... representationally?



We had to stop playing a little earlier than anticipated. Sassy slid through a rope climber and had a decent rope burn on the front of her foot and ankle, which was {of course} devastating to her. She insisted upon removing her shoe at once, sitting on the bench until Tink was rounded up, and carried for the rest of the day. Ah, my girl...



Graycop did carry her over to a little cross-bridge, where she agreed to walk to the end and back. The fall foliage was beautiful, and I just had to share that with you, too...



Graycop and his girls...



We had a yummy lunch at Neives Mexican restaurant {really good... stop there if you're ever in Winfield} and then headed home for a restful afternoon!

I so love fall weather park play! We're hoping to head over to Andover this morning for library and park time and I'm looking forward to the fresh cool air. Oh... and of course, where did you find Sassy's crocheted hat?
