Our Little Corner of the Park

For those of you who don't know, we live in South Park Township. It's named for, oddly enough, South Park, which is a big, public, county run park in Allegheny County. It's really a nice place with trails to hike, a dog park, pavilions, and lots of playgrounds. It also has a wave pool and skateboard park, but we haven't used those yet! We take the kids there a lot, as our back yard is soggy and boring. When they were really little we just took them for walks in the stroller, but now they want OUT.

Late in the summer we discovered this little playground right over the hill from our house that we have been frequenting. It's nice because no one else is ever using it! The kids can toddle all around and we don't have to worry. It's only gotten more fun since the leaves fell and are about a foot deep in places! Colin LOVES leaves.

Since the weather is ridiculously nice for November, we hit our little corner of the park yesterday and finally remembered to take the camera with us!

Daddy and Colin are ready for some fun!


They both really enjoy swinging! Gillian starts laughing and pointing when ever she sees a swing!


And they're OFF!


As I said earlier, Colin LOVES leaves. He dives right in and is right up to his armpits before you know it!




Gillian exploring the leaves on her feet! Come on Daddy!


C&G also really like sliding! Colin has a bad habit of letting his feet down and flipping head first, so he needs a lot of supervision. But, they do enjoy it!


Slides are FUN!

Another fun trip! Not sure we'll make it back before spring, but you never know with this crazy weather!
