Date with Mama

On Saturday, Jesse went to College Station with his dad for the A&M verse Army football game. So, Ryleigh and I had the day to ourselves, and we wanted to make the most of the nice weather. She was pretty wild all morning, so I figured perhaps she had some energy to run off. We waited until a bit later in the afternoon, after her nap, then headed up to the neighborhood park.

Of course, Ryleigh ran straight to the swings. That girl loves to swing!


After awhile, she thought it would be fun to explore the rest of the park equipment. I still cannot believe my baby is big enough to do this yet- venture off and play on park equipment. Up high. Off the ground.

Naturally, I followed her up.

While trying to cross over the little bridge, sure enough, Mama slipped. Haha- good thing there was no one else around! I totally splintered my arm up on the wooden playground, but I kept my baby from falling.

Ryleigh loved the slide- didn't matter if she was going down it (with me), or attempting to climb up it. Slides are fun!
At one point, she took off across the playground toward the picnic table, and I thought I heard her murmur "ju." Sure enough, she came back carrying her sippy cup. Must have been time for a juice break!
It was a fun afternoon, watching my little toddler run, climb, swing, and play at the park. Who knew she would grow so quickly?! I'm so glad that she loves to play outside. What a fun time in her life!
