Park, Day 2, as a Family.

I can't believe that we had such amazing weather two days in a row.

After such a successful day at the park on Friday, we decided to do it all over again on Saturday.

This time, papa was off work to come along for the ride.

It wasn't the 60 degrees that it had been the day before.

However, at 45 and extremely sunny, it was a perfect day for family time.

This day also was a huge change from before.

Elliana now loved the swings and she stayed on them the majority of the time that we were there.

And to my pleasant surprise... other families actually showed up to the park.

Well okay, maybe one.

But still. It was one mom with 4 kids.

They played so well as she read a book.

I'd see her peak up from her book from time to time and smile at them.

And at one point one of her daughters came up to her and said...

"Mama, I'm ready for kisses."

Um. My heart melted.

Elliana, of course, was all into her walking everywhere again.

And staring.

It's what the girl does best. 

I especially love this picture below.

Look at little baby girl and her tall papa.

I mean seriously, is this not the cutest thing you have ever seen.

Papa and his princess just strolling around.

I want to take a picture like that every year so I can compare as she grows.

And then back to the swings we went.

Now she put on some full blown expressions this time.

She was loving it.

And then she decided to needed to rest.

And do a little more staring.

We even got pictures of papa... making funny faces.

No worries. Elliana is still busy people watching.

Mama jumped in the picture.

Sans make-up and all.

Overall, it was an amazing 2 days spent.

It was so nice to be out and enjoy the fresh air. 

And it gets me that much more excited for spring and summer time.

I have a feeling Elliana and I are going to be an adventurous duo.

And of course trio on the weekends :)
