Sunshine at the Park!



Wow, what a glorious, sunny day! It seems like it has been forever since we have seen the sun, so in honor of this beautiful day, Robby and I decided to take the family out for fun at the local park. We decided to go to the dog park, since Chance hasn't had much of an opportunity to really stretch his legs lately. This was our first time to a dog park since we moved to Mansfield, and we were really excited to find one so close to our house. It's called Tails & Trails Park and is a HUGE dog park with walking trails around it (hence the name!). Chance really loved playing, and we let him run and meet new friends for nearly an hour.

Abigail and I sat on a bench inside the big dog area, where Chance was playing, and she had a blast looking at all the dogs, especially when one would come near us, which wasn't very often. Everytime Chance would run by she would squeal, point and scream "CHANCEY!" It was fun to sit there with her, name the dogs and colors of dogs, and just enjoy the sunshine.

After Chance slowed down, we hooked him back on his leash and went walking around the trails. Eventually, we came upon a park and playground and let Abigail out of her stroller to have some fun. She had a blast on the slides, and Robby even talked me into letting her go down a slide by herself (after I tested the speed, of course!). The best part was watching her explore the area; she had the most fun not on the toys, but just running around the playground, even though she thought the woodchips were trippy and preferred to walk on the concrete. It was a nice day to be out and let our baby and furry baby have some fun. It was a great family day!

After Chance had some fun, it was time for Abby's fun!


She LOVES slides!

Sliding by herself!


She could also "pump" the swing by herself! This amazed us, because she doesn't have swings at day care, and we have no idea how or where she learned this!

She loved the grass, too.


Fun in the sun!
