A day at the park

Sarah and I snatched the rare opportunity this spring to hang out at our local park, just us girls. It has a really great playground and a nice pond where we like to feed the ducks. We sat beside the pond and had lunch and then decided to let Sarah slide to her hearts content.

Here is a photo of the playground. I don't know if you can tell from this picture, but it was mighty crowded on this day. I think every school in Scott County was in attendance!!


Luckily, Sarah opted to hang for a while in the smaller kids playground, away from the chaos.

Then she moved over to the big kids side to conquer almost every slide at the park!


We quickly got tired of fighting the "big kid" crowds and decided to go pick flowers and hang out by ourselves. This quickly turned into a mini photo shoot when I noticed the blue sky and green grass looked really pretty against her yellow shirt.

Here is the look I know so well. This is Sarah's "Mom, do I really have to take more photos?" Look.

There's a smile!

Finally, she gets into the photographing spirit.

Here comes the "ham."

Of all the photos of the day, this one is my favorite. What a beautiful day to be with the little girl I love most in the world. Our days as a twosome are numbered. Next spring, we will have a sibling photo shoot in the park (God willing).
