Family Fun Day

After a pretty boring morning, Shawn declared this afternoon that we were going to have a Baxter Family Fun Day.  :)  I know you are all asking yourselves what does one do on Baxter Family Fun Day.  Well, let me tell you.  We headed over to a new outdoor shopping center by our house to check out some of the new stores and then after a quick 20 minute power nap for Emily (she only sleeps in 20-30 min. increments on the weekends) we headed out to take a walk and stopped by one of the playgrounds in our neighborhood.  They had a couple of the baby swings, so we thought we would try it out.  She had only been in a swing once at Easter and was pretty sleepy at the time, so we were curious how she would react.  She LOVED it!!  She would not stop giggling.  She looked so little in the swing, but she had such a huge smile on her face.  We also took her down the slides a few times.  She liked that, but definitely preferred the swings.  Now that we know how much she loved it, we are planning on making several more trips back this summer.

Just playing around the house this morning

Love those baby blues

Going for a walk

Loving the swings

She had this huge smile on her face the whole time

She looks so tiny in the swing

Daddy tried out the swings too.  We forgot how fun it is to swing.  :)

Time to try out the slides

They had lots of slides.  They were pretty steep too.  I took Emily down one and was surprised at how fast they were.  I think it scared me though more than Emily.

Trying out the climbing wall

I think it turned out to be a pretty fun Baxter Family Fun Day.  It was nice getting out of the house and doing something different.  And I think it definitely wore Emily out.
