New Berlin Park Series: Lions Park

After a 3 week start-to-finish encounter with shingles for Mom, we just got back to our park visits today! It was a beautiful, low humidity day. We ventured a whole 2 miles (probably less) to Lions Park.  As per usual, Miss V saw the playground and marched right over and said "Oh! Cool!" We did the swings first of course.

Miss V looooves climbing stairs and these were pretty big steps for some small legs!

So determined to do it herself!

She just realized that there were other kids on the swings!

Miss V's adventurous side comes to a halt at the top of a slide. She still will not go down without me. And although it is sometimes a squish, I will take a lap rider down the slide any day :)

You don't really think I'm going to actually go down this without you mom...?

It wouldn't have been a park experience without some strange animal "rides."  I don't know what it is about these odd creatures that kids like!

Scary looking eyes! Miss V did not care!

Oh Violet! Please do not put your mouth on that OMG!

We stopped to explore a stump and the baseball diamond on the walk back to the car. Curious Miss V. was naturally curious about both!

Another picture Mom, really?!

She listened about staying on the grass! I could just picture little footprints all across the diamond...

This is what summer in Wisconsin is all about to me! Nice afternoons at the park with a curious almost 2 YEAR OLD!!!
