Due to daycare being closed today, I took a day off from teaching 7th graders to stay home with the kids. I am very fortunate to be able to spend the entire summer with them, but it's still nice to have a day off in the Fall and enjoy time with them outside in the nice weather. The summer weather is so unbearably hot, that most of the time, we take a walk as soon as we wake up then spend the rest of the day in the A/C! But now that it's Fall, I took the kids up to Honeygo Run Park in White Marsh for some fun at the playground and a nice stroll around the track there. Alex loved the slide, as he always does, and although it took him a minute to warm up to the other kids and go off to play on his own, he eventually ran around with the rest of the kids and had so much fun chasing and playing cars with some of the other boys at the park. Miss Maya got her first ride on the swings, and loved it! I was surprised, because Alex tried it at around 15 months and cried bloody murder. But Amaya is a little more daring, a little more confident about such things and she had a ball! In fact, she almost fell asleep in the swing. After playing for about an hour, I put the kids in the double stroller and we took a 1.5 mile walk around the park. Alex was very interested in the caterpillar we saw crossing the path and asked me if he was "going to the woods to sleep." LOL. All in all we had a great time spending the day together and both kids were very good for Mommy! I can't wait to do it again!
About to go down the slide, but he saw a helicopter!
Can't believe little Amaya stands so well now!
Beautiful little girl waiting for her brother to come down the slide
Having so much fun on the slide!
Swinging Away!
