An Oldie But Goodie

Now that we're truly out of any type of winter weather - yet unfortunately almost already feeling like summer - Mallory and I go to the park pretty much every day. With the hotter weather like we've had the last few days we've been going before noon, otherwise it's just too uncomfortable for everyone. Then we come back home to have lunch out in our sideyard  - or "back garden" as Mallory calls it - which usually also involves getting in the pool as well. My pale skin has benefited from being outside a lot more than ever before; score. And I've been extra good about making sure we're slathered in sunscreen because sunburns are never fun.

If I have an errand to run then I'll go to a park that's nearby wherever we are so we don't get too bored going to the parks nearest to our house. This morning's park visit was to a place we haven't frequented since her first birthday - Folsom's "Castle Park." I had forgotten how cool the playground is at this particular park; there is a ton of different things to do. Unfortunately monster wasn't having the best morning so she barely wanted to do anything at all - even swing. But I was able to get some smiles out of her once she was swinging, and then bribe her with more swings if she went through at least some of the playground structure.
