The Park

Benjamin's favorite place is probably the park. Now that he is mobile and knows what things do, he goes right to his favorite. First the bouncy car, then the jungle gym, and finally his favorite, the swing. There is a cute little community park that is near our house and they have it set-up into age appropriate sections so it is nice that we don't really have to worry about him getting trampled on by older kids. He was pretty disappointed because the tube that he likes to crawl through was filled with water, grass, and mud from the massive storm we had the night before, but daddy distracted him, or at least tried to. His favorite is swinging right now because he absolutely loves trees and the swing sets are facing lots and lots of trees.

Helping us get him ready to go. Isn't he so helpful?

Running to the car. I think he knew where we were going.

Bouncing the car. He doesn't really care about riding it, but if he can push it

and make it bounce he is a happy boy.

Going down the slide. He won't go down on his

own yet, so daddy helps by giving him a little push.

Daddy helping him across the bridge,

the only way he would go.

Thinking about a way to get around mommy,

then getting frustrated because mommy was too big to get past.

TIm putting him in the swing.

This took a little bit because Ben was holding on to the chains

and Tim didn't realize it so he kept trying to put him in.

Pretty funny.

Swinging fun. Tim thought that it would
be fun to push Ben high, Ben didn't think so.

Ben checking out the trees and

the little girl on the big kid swings.

He is such a flirt.

On the way home he kept talking about the Trees.

That is the only word that we could really understand
