A Trip To The Park

So in case you're out of the area, or were somehow living in a cave, it was beautiful in Columbus today. A high in the low 70s on March 13th is NOT to be denied. So, we loaded up the Buggy and headed out to the park. After all, she loves the swing and running around, we love her having fun, the weather's great - win-win, right?

Things started out pretty well. We had to start out with the requisite baby-in-sunglasses shots. She wasn't sure about all that. Well... actually she'd remove them within seconds if we weren't holding her back, so note the restraint techniques in use here:


She did love carrying them around though - and would even keep holding them up on top of her head like she wanted to put them back on - but if you did, OFF they'd come! She wasn't sure about the mulch at first, but after awhile she started tottering around in it.


The baby swings were full when we first got there, so we killed time letting her wander a tad (she wasn't really into all that today though), and we gave the slide another shot - still completely not a fan of that. We did get to the swings, but Evie was NOT into them today. Like really bummed-out looking and uninterested, progressing slowly to full-on mad baby.

Which was a bummer, since she's loved it before, even as recently as this past weekend...

After the second run at the swings, Evie was in no mood for further attempts at fun... Here's Mommy joining in for the grumpy-face solidarity:

So we headed back home... not sure why the swing was a miss this time, but hopefully she'll like it again on the next try. The weather's too awesome to NOT get outside and enjoy it.
