Miss Willa's Tuesday Adventure

When you get up around 6:00 AM, there is a lot of day to fill...especially if you are 3 years old and full of energy, good energy.

We start the early mornings with some TV time. Breakfast about 8:00. Then some together play time. Today at 10:00 we went to the store looking for something special to help fill the summer hours at our house. It took two shopping stops but we found the perfect thing. More on that later.

We found a new playground on the way home from shopping.

We thought it was the perfect size for Miss Willa. She climbed up, went down the biggest slide and got her butt wet from a puddle of water on the slide. Which made her think of having to go potty. We drove home (2 blocks) went potty and returned to the playground, with comfy lawn chairs for G'pa & G'ma and time to kill before lunch. Miss W decided the playground wasn't as much fun when there aren't other kids to play with.

Pretty cool to have a slide made for climbing up, not down.

The one thing she REALLY wanted to do was the monkey bars, you know, moving hand over hand, above the ground. So we did try the bars.

It was OK while G'ma was holding her up and trying to take a photo, but...

when I let go and said hold on....this was the expression I got. She did not drop. We did support her while she crossed the bars.

She survived the solo playground experience.


Then it was home for lunch and a nap. After the nap...

it was time to play in her NEW backyard water pool.

 The sun was very bright and hurting her eyes, so she wore one of my visors for awhile.

OK. It is far more fun to carry water and water the bird bath...

and the garden...

and the sidewalk and driveway.

We got our money's worth today. G'pa climbed in and finally she sat long enough to to make the purchase worth it. It was a pretty good deal, 50% off original price.

Then we had to find the sidewalk chalk that she remembered from her last visit.

A fun and entertaining afternoon. We are ready to do it again tomorrow!
