Our Favorite Park

A beautiful weekend = a lot of trips to the park. Our favorite park, too. The park is located on a hill and if you climb up you can see the top of Mt. St. Helens.

Ava loves playing at the park and enjoys the swings the most.



Here she had to take off her shades to get a closer look at the boys! She is going to be TROUBLE when she's older! By the look on her face, she's thinking, "Hmm, he's pretty cute."



We've also been spending tons of time reading lately. Ava's back into her routine of reading books. I'm not sure if she just likes looking at the bright colors and contrasts of the pages, turning the pages, or likes to hear my voice - but whatever it is - we read all the time. We went to the library and checked out at least 25 new books. We go through them so fast. And, I get tired of reading all of her books repeatedly so I made sure we'd have plenty for the next week until Friday's story time at the library.



Ms. A sits on her knees and goes from book to book.



I've had to designate the area by her rocking chair as our story time corner. The house was started to fill up with books and Ava would carrying them all around from room to room. She has been enjoying her little corner and will sit in her chair and look at pages by herself as well.
