Going Super Fast!
We travelled up the road to Spinghill Park (at the lock and dam on Hwy 59) and found some super slides! Davis was thrilled with all the different slides to go down and ladders to climb. Even though he wasn't wearing his fast pants, Davis still had a great time! (we'll have to remember to keep a pair in the Jeep). There are two play areas, Davis preferred the one closer to the river (keep veering left after the gate and go under the bridge). He could see the water from the top of the sildes, and the playground set had a little swinging bridge that he loved running across. There was one slide that was too steep of a drop, Davis really wanted to try it, but daddy was too scared to try it himself. It's a challenge trying to keep a fearless slider under control, but mommy helped with the spotting, catching, lifting, and picture taking too. Enjoy the post, and if you know of any other good sliding areas, leave a comment to tell us where!
Davis likes bridges too. Maybe he thinks they are giant slides?
The only time Davis took a break from the slides was to drive the Jeep
Davis is one proud ladder-climber!
It took him a lot of practice, and some attentive spotting, but Davis has developed some serious climbing talent. He likes going up high, and he is able to control his excitement (with a little reminding) as he's climbing. It's difficult to see our baby, who wasn't even walking this time last year, change into such an active boy!

(too funny: you can hear him remind himself 'watch the feet')
