Opus 402 - Parks, Parks, and more Parks!

One of the best perks of visiting my parents in the winter is that the kids get to play outside. We brought their bikes with them and took several trips to the two nearby parks. Lissa and Joshua LOVED it! They have missed being able to go outside and play at our park. We had two very happy kids. Lissa even got brave enough to learn to do some climbing (sorry, no pictures). She got so good that she was able to do it by herself. Joshua gave it a go too and got pretty good. I think he would've perfected it if it hadn't turned rainy and cold a few days after Christmas, thus severely limiting our outdoor activities.







One of Lissa and Joshua's favorite things to do when using the slides: One goes down, then waits to "catch" the other.


Lissa and Joshua really enjoyed these whisper things too. I don't remember what they're officially called, but the kids sure thought they were fun!



Both parks had sand. Oh boy, did the kids LOVE the sand. Grandma was so cool - she got right down into it and made things in the sand with them.
