I was going through my photos this morning and realized that I didn’t get my camera out much in April and as a result my folder of monthly photos of the girls was a little bit sparse. To prevent such a catastrophe from occurring during May, I packed up the girls and my good camera, and we headed off to the park for some playtime.  Here are my favorite pics from the morning:

My very first photo of the day was of Alethea’s feet hanging off the slide, a different sort of shot for me, but I couldn’t resist the playfulness of the moment.

Lydia absolutely flies off the end of this slide… and loves it!

Alethea likes the tube slide too. It took all four years of her life to work up the courage to go down, but now it just might be her favorite part of the park.

Lydia’s favorite part of the park is the swings. That girl would swing for hours if I’d stand there and push her.

Ride ’em cowgirl!

Picking dandelions was just as much fun as playing on the playground!

(Yes, Alethea’s dress is on backwards. Yes, I mentioned it and yes, she was quite sure she didn’t want it turned around.)

Alethea thought her flowers looked liked something for a princess and wanted to go home and “put on my dress from Aunt Genna’s wedding and wear it while I hold my flowers”.

So there you go, a day at the park in pictures. Now I can rest easy tonight knowing that I have properly documented the month of May 2013 in the girls’ lives. Whew!
