New Berlin Park Series: Gatewood Park

We tried out another small neighborhood park (Gatewood Park near Orchard Lane Elementary) in New Berlin last week after a big rain storm. The wood chips kind of sunk down when we walked on them. Very wet! Miss V was happy as ever to be exploring though! 


She doesn't even wait for me anymore: just takes off and conquers! 



Big kid

She again had some shoe issues but took care of it no problem!

Dont want sandal weather to end!
She was playing with another kid and kept waiting at the bottom of the slide to "catch" her. This kid was probably 4 or 5 LOL


She also kept getting distracted by the school buses driving by

And to end our park trip: some wildlife enjoying the puddles!




Play-doh

How do you spell play-doh? That is the first question I was curious about when beginning this post :) So many variations. The official brand is play-doh so that is what I'm going with! Curious Miss V got some for her birthday in August and we've only used it once so with a cooler start to the morning yesterday...we got out the play-doh and got to work!


I know there's more in there...
Anyone else have trouble getting this darn stuff out of the containers? V saw me smack it on the counter to get some out and she of course had to try to!
We had to make a butterfly to match her shirt and her name of course!



She has a mini rolling pin for making creations but it was mostly used for making holes/circles in the play-doh!




concentrating 
I would say half of the time was spent taking the lids off and on the containers! Refer back to this post where I suggest she may be an engineer or builder when she grows up! 


When we video chatted with Grandma that night, Violet kept wanting to show the "squishy squashy" to her and was pointing to the cabinet where I thought she had not seen me hide it- oh boy!

Here is a link to an edible play-doh recipe we tried a few months ago!
