Playing at the "Big Boy" Park


We still like to go for walks after dinner - and sometimes we will head to the "big boy" park which is about 5 minutes from our house. We call it the big boy park because it has lots of older kids that hang out there (which we aren't a big fan of because they don't seem to notice toddlers trying to play there too) and it has the bigger slides (which Kellen loves!!!).

Here he is trying to blow the fluff off of a dandelion (however you actually spell it!)...he didn't understand that you need to hold it close to your mouth to make it work...so, he pretty much hyperventilated trying to get it to work!

Showing Daddy his flowers....


And of course, throwing rocks into the drainage holes (okay, I have no clue what the correct term is for these things!). If you didn't already know, Kellen is kind of obsessed with collecting rocks and throwing them down these things - all to hear the water "plop"!

Daddy is a bit tired and ready to head home...but Kellen has a couple more rocks to throw down there!

Smile!! Kellen was super proud of himself for climbing all the way to the top of the play structure!

...and here he is on his way back up to the top!!


...and going down the big slide all by himself..the kid has no fear!!


...and again...he was loving it!!!

He looks so big and beautiful, Claire! Can't wait to see him this weekend (and you two, too!)

You're right, April, Kellen looks so big! He's a very tall little boy, with a lovely, quiet voice.
