A Visit to the Park

Dear Audra,
 
Daddy and I took you to the park this afternoon.  At first you were having a little difficulty with hanging on to the swing, so you decided to use your 3 teeth (yes, THREE teeth, as of this morning!) to get a grip.  But Mama stopped that idea as soon as it started... EWWW.
Unfortunately, you weren't thrilled about the swing today.  I think part of the problem was having the sun in your eyes... you were swinging in Daddy's shadow when I took these photos.
So we took you out of the swing and went for a walk around the park.  Daddy carried you while I carried the camera.  (Daddy was also very patient as I used the camera about every 3 minutes!)
I even asked your daddy to take the camera and get a few shots of this mama and her sweet baby.

You seemed to be enjoying the adventure we were having, though you didn't smile until at least 1/2 way through our walk.  When you're busy taking in new scenes, you usually concentrate so intensely that you forget to smile.  I was excited when I snapped this picture of you, grinning, with your daddy.
I took a few pictures of the Delaware River, as we walked along the trail at the Red Bank Battlefield in National Park, NJ.  (Then I edited them a bit when we got home, and tried to make them look artsy.)


I enjoyed spending time with you and your daddy this afternoon, and hope you had a good time, too!
Love,
Your Mama
