Off to Kinder we go…again

We spend lots and lots of time at Kinder Park…but really if you lived a mile from this place I’m sure you would too. Cole knows where every animal is and runs around shouting animal noises as he moves quickly from one farm animal to the next. He’s new thing is saying his scared. He says it when he sees cookie monster, bugs and now sheep. While at Kinder we got a chance to see a mama Sheep with her three day old lambs. They were so stinking cute. But Cole was not a fan. I think it had something to with them being out in the open. He dramatically put his hand on his chest and said scared. Poor kid.

 

 

 

 

As you can see my lil sis was in town, it’s always so much fun to have her here, I so wish she lived right around the corner. Life would really be complete for me. Anyway, Cole had a blast with his Aunt Coco. Its adorable really… in Cole’s eyes Aunt Coco trumps everyone…he wants only her to read him books or chase him or skip for him. Actually he’s pretty demanding when it comes to skipping. Poor Court did lots of skipping during her visit. Ha.

 

I love watching them together. It brings me such happiness to see the joy in both their faces when there spending time together.

 

Cole has also decided that he’s a big boy now and must go down the big slide and try climbing the rope. He did great on the slide…however the rope seemed to cause him a little trouble.

 

 

Like a good mama I stood there laughing and taking pictures of the predicament he put himself in. Ha.

 

 

It was a great time and best part is were off to Richmond tomorrow ….which means more Aunt CoCo time and one awesome visit to here!  

First Trip to the Playground

After spending some time with the animals at Kinder Park, we walked over the the huge children's playground. This was obviously the place to be on a Friday afternoon if you have small children and great weather. I made a beeline for the swings hoping that Cole would be big enough to enjoy it. It was a little large but he did great and seemed to enjoy it. Honestly my kid would have been happier just people watching (kid watching for him) then go on the swing or slide but I just had to have him experience the playground! Once Cole starts walking I'm sure this will be somewhere we come often to let him run around and burn up some of that energy he has at all times. :)





 

Kinder Park

About 2 miles from our house is a wonder huge park called Kinder Farm Park. It's has a 3 mile hiking and biking trail, children's playgrounds, picnic areas, community gardens and a farm complex with live stock. This past Friday the weather was amazing, I'm talking 73 degrees in February! It was the perfect day to take Cole over to the park and go see the animals, I guess I wasn't the only who thought it would be a good idea because the place was packed. Cole was a little unsure at first but really warmed up to all the animals once we saw big 700 pound pig! No joke this pig was enormous. He was so curious with each animal he saw, he just couldn't keep his eyes off them. We got to see chickens, goats, rabbits, cows and sheep. I love watching him discover the world around him. Cole really opens my eyes to new things and gives me a new perspective on everything we do. I really can't wait to go back there this spring and summer with him!
