Park Adventures

Happy HUMP Day!!


One thing I really wanted to focus on this summer was to get out and visit a bunch of different parks.  My hope was to do this as a family but when you are a nanny and watching 2 other kids alongside your own, you have to fill you days with something.  



So over the course of the summer my "kids" and I have visited parks on the regular and we've even checked out quite a few more than just three new ones.  I have definitely found some parks that I LOVE and others I don't have to go back to - which I think was the whole point of this part of the Summer Bucket List.  Having the responsibility of watching over 3 kids means I don't get to take as many pictures as I would like so here is just a small sampling of the fun that Ellie has had at one of the parks.  This one has fast become my favorite because it's super quiet, pretty empty, shaded by tall mature trees, and the jungle gyms is relatively visible all throughout.  Plus Ellie can basically navigate this whole park without me worried about her falling off!!

Except of course when she decides to act all dangerous....



And another super neat thing about this park is that not only is it nestled in 85 acres of mature forest land but it has a creek that runs through that the kiddos love to play in.  This girl + water = occupied for DAYS!!!  Ellie had so much fun stomping and running through the water (which is super shallow) and just basically having a grand ol' time!!




This one with her tongue hanging out is one of my faves!



Nothing is better than Summer days with this little cutie!

  1. Looks like so much fun!!! We normally take my niece and nephew to the park at least a few times a month during the summer but I've been so busy I haven't gotten to go with them at all this year.
