We've had such a warm fall- warmer than most of the month of August- so we've been trying to get out and enjoy it as much as possible. These are some pictures from early September when we hit one of the local parks before the Vikings (and the Patriots) opened their season (note the kids in their #1 team's colors!). We've got several parks within walking distance of our house...the kids have wisely named this one the "Red Park".
Olivia is FEARLESS on the playground equipment...she will climb up anything, slide down everything, and leap across any expanse of open space. And she's pretty good at all of the above, so I don't have to hold my breath while she's at it. Jackson is getting MUCH better at navigating the equipment- he's really good at going UP, OK at getting down, and has no concept of the "10 foot drop", so I do find myself hovering around those open spaces to make sure he doesn't plant himself unknowingly into the dirt! He's normally pretty cautious so it's not a huge concern, but he is a boy and you just never know when curiosity will get the best of him!
