We love the park, mostly because these little monkeys need to climb and hang and get their copious amount of energy out regularly or they start getting a little fiesty, but it is always a wonderful day when we can get out and enjoy the beautiful mountains we live in.
These two are true mountain kids, snow on the ground, frigid fall mountain air, and neither wanted their jacket. They've taken to a saying heard from Grandpa, "Jackets are things kids need when moms are cold."
We were the only ones at the park, which I secretly love, because then it is me they want to play with. They run away yelling "Chase us, chase us!" and we run up and down and all around, climbing and sliding to safety, and the two of them work together, warning each other of my whereabouts or cheering each other on, laughing and screaming, with gigantic smiles on their faces. I love these moments with them, when they are just being wild and free, and I savor every moment of it, running and screaming with them, because soon enough, they aren't going to want me to play with them at the playground, soon enough those innocent little squeals will turn into teenage laughter, and these moments will be long past.
This little one would freeze and act like a statue every time I came near. Her imagination is so big and it's always fun to see what ideas she comes up with as we play.
And this went on and on until a flock of geese came and landed in the field across from the playground, and we were off to welcome the geese.
Lily spent a long while running around the field, playing with her shadow, making it taller and smaller, and exploring different poses.
And Chase joined in the fun
Then went and found his own fun, frosty sand angels.
By that time we were cold and wet so we carried our little statue to the car and went home.
It was another fun and memorable fall day at the park.
