First Warm Days of Spring

I promised myself that I would take the girls down to the playground, which is just a few blocks away from our house, on the first day we reach 50 degrees.  Last Tuesday it was supposed to be 50, but ended up at over 60, so off we went.  I took a bunch of pics; it may seem like overkill, but it was just so refreshing to take pics of the girls doing something other than cuddling on the couch with a bunch of blankets!




Eva's preferred method of going down the slide.  At least on the first day.  She has gotten better at going down on her bottom now.




Love Lena's butt in the background!


It took Eva a while to get used to walking on the pea gravel.  She didn't care for it too much.


Lena, on the other hand, couldn't keep her hands out of it.  




Lena is impatient.


Traffic jam on the slide!


Still working on the landing! :)


Finally got up the nerve to go down the big slide.


She wasn't heavy enough to make it all the way to the bottom.






Cute pic, but came out fuzzy. :)


Action shot!  This slide is slippery-er than the other ones and Eva kept landing on the ground.


The temperature was the same the next day, but it was overcast and really windy so it felt cooler.  But we went back to the park anyway.


Some stranger (a teenage girl) asked me if they were twins.  Huh?  They are completely different sizes and they look NOTHING alike! So, no.


My little monkey.




Lena on the great big slide.






Eva kept taking her jacket off.


Captain Lena.


This big square was supposed to be an ice skating rink.  But it never got cold enough to ice skate!

We are looking forward to many more hours spent at the playground this year.  Our backyard is small and pretty boring, so we are really glad we live so close to it.

  1. Great pictures, never too many for me so don't worry about overkill. Eva looks more like Mommy every day. Lena looks like she's having the time of her life. - Grandma Sheryl
