Parks help your children work out their ya-yas.

If it's not 20 degrees below zero or sleeting, we like to take Sadie to the neighborhood park every weekend, so that she can dispel the 3,000 Joules of energy she has stored at any given time, and thus, ensure that our furniture and house will last another few years. It's a blast watching her navigate swings, slides, tunnels, and other toddlers. I find myself envying the children their play equipment and wishing there were slides and tunnels for grown-ups. Ah well, the youth is wasted on the young, no?

Sadie climbs UP the slide. She doesn't usually get very far.


Hangin' out in a tunnel.

Peek-a-Boo!
Profile of mischief....
I'll come out when I feel like it, thankyouverymuch...
Slides are a thing of wonder...
She giggles, squeals and snorts on the swing...


A shadowy figure in a tunnel...
Playing with bells and other loud things...
And at home, Sadie decides to snack upon her shoe...
