Playing on the Sandbar


Behind our apartments we have a decent sized woods and the river is a short hike away. We took Piper down there a few days ago and she had a blast playing on the sandbar. Apparently the sand didn't bother her as much as it did at the Children's Museum. I bought her some sand toys to use the next time we go down there, and I know she'll have fun digging and sifting in the mess.

Hiking at Holliday Park

We have had beautiful weather the last couple of days, and it is expected to last the week. I am really looking forward to spring. We took Piper to Holliday Park to play and walk in the woods by the river. All we saw of the wildlife were ducks, and I spotted a couple wildflowers that were in bloom already. She enjoyed running on the trails and playing with a stick in the water. I am definitely bringing her back this spring when all the flowers bloom for some great pictures.
The park also has an amazing playground, and Piper had fun climbing and playing. I think she will really like the "spiderweb" when she gets a little older. It is basically monkey bars made out of rope that is shaped like a pyramid. We didn't go into the nature center this time. I'll have to make sure we have time to go there in the future.
