First time at the playground







Last Sunday we took a little family walk to our local playground. Jason swung with Eli and took him on the slide, and I got to carry him in his new backpack (he's too heavy for the front-carrier now!) He had fun at first but the whole experience proved a little overwhelming ... we only stayed for a few minutes and then came home, where he was much more comfortable knocking down blocks!

#1 ~ post-slide ... what just happened mom?
#2 ~ Eli in his pack. I love this picture because it looks like an exoskeleton. I am excited about this new piece of equipment, as we are planning our spring and summer camping schedule. J will be doing some hunting, and Eli and I will be doing some light hiking around our new tent. Our backpack will be perfect for this.
#3 ~ Getting ready to go, self portrait ...
#4 ~ Eli and V in the wetland behind our house
#5 &6 ~ first encounter with a swing ... having fun ...
#7 ~ ... not as much fun anymore, suddenly looking very little still for swings! Phoebe hanging out and watching in the background.
