A day at the park!

Living on Whidbey Island during the rainy season isn't the best. However, when the sun decides to come out and shine on us all day, it is well worth it. We were lucky enough to have a nice warm sunny day this past Saturday! I was able to convince Tony and his buddies that it would be a great idea to head out to the park! Not to mention its something to do that is FREE! City Beach Park is a wonderful park in Oak Harbor. It has several play ground areas and large grassy areas to picnic or play football. It also has a path that goes all the way around the park to take in the beauty that surrounds us. This past Saturday was warm enough that kids were playing in the water on the beach and the park was full of people. It was a nice clear day so we could see all the mountains around us and they were beautiful. So, we got to the park and Madison and I sat on a blanket to have our sandwiches, while the guys ate at the picnic table. I was hoping that Madison and I could spend the day walking around in the grass, swinging, and maybe going down the slide. After we had our lunch, the guys started to throw around the football and Madison was off on her own little adventure. This was her first time to really be outside in the grass and explore. She wasn't very steady on the grass, so she wanted to crawl everywhere! We decided to try out the swings next, and she wasn't to fond of that. We had tried to get her to swing before and she didn't like it, but I thought I would try again. She was okay for a few minutes, but she just isn't too sure about it. So, we headed back over to the guys and relaxed in the sun and played in the grass. The guys finally decided they wanted to take a break from football so we headed over to the playground. Tony and his buddy decided they wanted to put Madison on the big slide! I was terrified! I wanted to keep my eyes closed the whole time! She loved it though! So, she went down the slide a couple of times with the help of her daddy and had a great time! We walked around a little bit and let Madison walk on the path where she could be a little more stable. The guys played football a little longer and then it was time to go home. Madison was worn out and in desperate need of a nap! It was a wonderful day and lots of fun in the sun! Enjoy the picks!
