A Walk in the Park

We decided the Fletchers had spent too much time cooped up in the house and combined with finally getting a pretty day, we went to the park. We had been there before when Daddy had played in the kickball league but never just to relax. There's a walking trail that meanders around the perimeter of the entire park and for a long while follows a small creek/river that just begs you jump in a play. Abram especially liked the little bends and mini-waterfalls. The sounds got his attention and the light shimmering off the water surface amazed him.



After a nice walk it was time to introduce Abram to a slide. We know, we know, we are bad parents for not taken him down a slide before now, but Daddy's been busy with basketball and track and the weather hasn't cooperated. Long story slightly shorter, he loves slides. We started going down together and then let him try out some of the smaller ones on his own. I would stand at the top and let him go while Mommy stood at the bottom awaiting the little giggling package. This will need to become a more regular trip, even it becomes just Abram and me going while Mandi stays home with Fletch IV to hang out.
