Fun at the Park

Our favorite thing to do on boring days is to head across the street to the neighborhood park. As you can tell in the background of this first picture, Caiti and Jason love going to the park so I can take them on a fun walk in the stroller. That is actually how I get my exercise here in San Diego. We walk laps around the park while Garrett goes up and down the slide...over and over... and over again. That is his FAVORITE thing to do, as you can tell from his happy smile

Caiti's favorite thing to do at the park is to play in the sand. If you haven't gathered from early posts (i.e., birthday breakfast), she is definitely a sensory learner and loves feeling different textures. Sand totally makes her happy. I have to admit I'm the same way. I will just sit with her with Jason on my lap and play in the sand too. We like to make mountains and than smash them down. So fun! That is how I am trying to teach her the words, "up" and "down." We say, "Up, up, up!" as we build the mountain, and then "Down, down, down" as we destroy it. This thingy right here, is a favorite of both Garrett's and Caiti's. I can't decide what it is though? Any guesses. I think it's a frog... Anyway, we sure are glad to have this fun place to go to when we are stuck at home without a car.
