Swings and Slides

It was a beautiful sunny day, the air was fresh and crisp and just slightly cool but begged to be enjoyed.  An adventure was in order but what to do.  We loaded up and headed out to locate a nearby park with some swings!  That sounded like great fun and would be a first for little man.  The first park we came too was packed and all the swings were taken so we continued on....  The next location....perfect!

There were only a couple of other little ones near by and the swings were open.  I loaded Isaac into the swing and he grabbed onto the handles instantly as if he had done this before.  However, when I started to push the swing his expression said it all.  He was not certain about this!  We did a few pushes and then he disclosed his objections.  Since I wanted this to be a fun experience I didn't want to over do it so we moved over to the slides.  

Obviously he's a bit to small to climb the steps himself. :)  He needed a pretty big boost to get to the top of the slide.  I held his hands and he held on tight, not sure of what was to come next.  I assisted him down the slide and his smile emerged.  That was fun!

After a few trips down the slide we decided to give the swings another try.....

Take two....was much better.  He was still a little unsure at first but once he got the hang of it he appeared to enjoy it.

It was a great afternoon of some outdoor fun in the sun.  We didn't stay too long, just enough for an initial introduction but's definitely something we must do again.....
