Silver Lake Playground

Last week, we were finally able to go to the Silver Lake Playground and Amaya was so excited. I told her it was big, but when she saw how big it really was, she was even more excited! We have three parks within walking distance from our house, so it was a special treat to go to Silver Lake. Here's a picture of her in the car on the way - all "sun-screamed" up!

So many decisions... which slide do I go on...

Amaya is a 2 1/2 year old with a 5 year old mind-set. For some reason, she thinks she can do all the big kid scary stuff. She attempted to go down this ladder by herself before Steve helped her.

On the train - being the conductor - like "Poppa!"

Going through the tunnel... it took a little convincing to get her out... she thought it was a cave

Here Amaya is pretending to serve up ice cream!

Love this picture! It wasn't a very scary or exciting slide, but you would've never guessed from Amaya's expression.

And back to the train again... "All Aboard!"

One of the last things Amaya wanted to do was go on the balance beam with a little help from Daddy.


Look at that concentration and determination!

"Ta-Da!"

As we were leaving the park, she saw the Canadian geese. While Daddy was doing homework this morning, Amaya and I went back to Silver Lake to see the geese. They were very hungry, but we didn't have any food to give them. Amaya's "why" question for the day - "Why do the geese poop on the grass and not in the potty?"
