Here Comes The Sun...

Ahhh the first spring like day we've had all week! A trip to the park was solidly on the agenda. So whilst Jake went off to pick up a special surprise for Bean (post to come), we headed to one of the beautiful parks we luckily have within walking distance from home.

I absolutely love taking Bean to the park, theres this certain air of excitement and exploration that comes over her when she's out in nature, which is just enchanting to witness. For myself I find being outdoors and away from the house to be somehow soothing, and even when the weather isn't so forthcoming it gives me a strong sense of togetherness to be out in the elements with Bean. Any grittiness that's built up from the bustle of home and the struggle to 'get things done' simply melts away when we're at the park, and life becomes all about running, sliding, swinging, and hiding for that precious hour or so. The days dusty slate is blown clean in the breeze, and we head home feeling more relaxed and connected.

Trips to the park also hold so many possiblities aside from enjoying the playground equipment, and I love to see how each visit will unfold. Yesterday's trip included...

and on our way home Bean stopped to post sticks and leaves she found into peoples mail boxes...


...Hopefully our neighbors don't mind the special delivery! :-)
