Playground Playdate

Yesterday afternoon, we met Lindsay and Jenna at Wealthy Park Elementary's playground for a quick playdate. We had tried to schedule a playground playdate last week, but it ended up raining on our planned day. Yesterday, though, the weather was perfect...sunny with the temperature in the low 80's. Olivia had a fun time playing with Jenna. She was a pro at swinging on the swings, going down the big windy slides, and even climbing up the ladders, which the spaces between the rungs were almost as wide as her little body. Jenna was great at playing with Olivia on the playground; although, when we were leaving in our cars, Jenna said, "Olivia wears me out." She also went on to say, "Olivia has lots of energy...too much energy."

Olivia swung on the regular swings for a long time. Jenna put her on the swing and gave her some big pushes, and Olivia did great at balancing and hanging on tight to the chains. She even let go with one hand once to wave to Aunt Lindsay.

While swinging, Olivia chanted, "La la la" and "weeeeee."

This was the ladder that really scared me, but Olivia climbed up it like a pro!

I wanted a cute picture of Jenna and Olivia sitting or standing together under the tree, and since Olivia is hard to direct for any photo shots, I asked her to hug the tree simply to entice her to head toward the tree. Jenna and Olivia both took my request literally. This isn't what I had in mind...oh well.

This shot is a little better.
