Swingset and Playdate

Addie (and Chase) got a HUGE gift this year from Mommy, Daddy and Grandma and Grandpa F.

Our wonderful next door neighbors have always allowed us to use their set whenever we wanted, but we thought it was time to get Addison her own since we found ourselves occupying their set daily. Not to mention that Addison now has quite a few friends, cousins, and a little brother who we would like to use the swing set as well.

It's a beautiful swing set and Addison has already had many, many hours of fun on it. We've placed it in the yard so that I have full view of all the components of the set from our kitchen. Addison can do everything by herself, including getting on the swings. She is a champ at the rock wall (thanks to our neighbors having practically an identical set) and recently learned to climb to the very top of the rope ladder.

We had one of Addison's friends, Abby, over today for a few hours to play. The girls are only 2 weeks apart and get along really well.

At this point, they were discussing what animals lived in the water.

If you didn't know better, you'd have a hard time telling who is who from the back.

We walk down (and up) the slide.


And we use it for it's intended purpose, too!

So cute!

They're both such good girls. They'll be in the same preschool class this fall, too!

I don't know of any 2 year old soccer programs, but I'd love to find one. The girl has some mad dribbling skills!

Sand table fun. We took the water out this year. It was just too messy for my toddler who has a hard time keeping the sand on the sand side! Instead, I let Addison pour a little in at a time to make the sand packable.
