New Park, New Experiences

After the cold, after the rain, after the dark, it was time yesterday finally to take the whole family out somewhere -- anywhere -- and do something. And so we packed the Girl's bike, the Boy's four-wheeler, some snacks, the camera, and Babcia and headed to a new park near Nana's and Papa's place. The boy has been doing circles in our house with his four-wheeler, but it's a route filled with sharp turns and short straightaways. Yesterday he was able finally to rev his vehicle up to its full potential. At times I found myself trotting beside him thinking, "Perhaps we should put a helmet on him."

We explored, took some pictures, chatted -- just what we needed.
