A Day at the Park

Eli and Cooper met up at the park this morning for a few hours. (Photos) This particular park is great because the ground is rubber turf (probably recycled tires), there are four or five sections of playground equipment (each one suitable for a different age group), there is a big sandbox with toys, and there is a man-made river for the kids to play in!

The boys had a good time in the sand (Eli had to eat some of course), but Eli liked the river better. I sat him down on a rock, but he quickly pushed himself over into a crawl position so he could move through the water. Luckily it was the perfect depth for him so he could easily keep his head above water. Truth be told, his crawl is looking more and more like a lizard's movements; Eli moves his right knee/leg simultaneously with his left arm now, and vice versa. Quite a far cry from his original, very inefficient army crawl.

From there, we moved the boys to the smallest set of playground equipment. Cooper had a blast crawling through the blue tube, while Eli stayed towards the back and played with Cooper's toes.

Very cute!! So glad he has a playmate his age. It'll make a difference even more when he is older and looking for kids to play with. My sister forgets how much she wants Dante to be near Brandon and Jake until they get together. Then they have so much fun she wants to move back down here even sooner. XO Courtney
