Della's First Splash Park!

Near my office, and near my favorite vegan lunch restaurant 

is the Georgetown Splash Park

A couple weekends ago I drug my darling daughter out of the house to go explore

We started with the very toddler friendly playground

The girl loves her steering wheels ...

... and slides.

But ... she LOVES the bigger, steeper, darker slides the BEST!

Fearless Della 

climbed right up and slid right down ... 

without her mama!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The park is conveniently located near a train turn-around 

so they pass by often and slow enough for toddlers to enjoy

Then, at exactly 11:00, the water came on!

Della's first splash park experience started off a little slow 

as she watched the water and analyzed the risks ...  

But it didn't take long before she decided to play!

Unfortunately, Della was overdue for a nap it only took one hard fall and a skinned knee to send us towards home. Hopefully we will fit in another visit before the warm weather disappears.

Another Family Zoo Trip ...

A few weekends ago, Della and I managed to convince Daddy to join us at the Zoo!

It was a perfect morning ... overcast skies kept the masses away and brought the animals out to play!

We started out with a peacock ... in the parking lot. 

Followed by our traditional stop at the sea lion bench

My little girl ... happy to be at the Zoo!

 Spotting Hefalumps (elephants for those of you not versed in Winnie-the-pooh)

And Tiggers ... only 9 months old! HUGE!

 No zoo trip is complete without a stop at the playground ... 

 This trip we focused on the slide ... Heading to the top with Daddy

No Fear!

Love you Della darling

I hope your fearless love for life is never dampened. 

Della Discovers the Dog Door

Last week, while playing in the back yard, Della disappeared!

 I wasn't worried as I'd been expecting it

sooner or later Della was bound to discover the dog door

I headed round into the garage to find my daughter standing 

in the dog kennel ...in the food dish

How, you may ask, did Della manage to crawl through the dog door?

Let me show you ... scroll down. 

 Della was more than happy to demonstrate her fantastic discovery again!

 The landing is not quite as graceful ...  

 My fearless little girl ... Oh the adventures you will have!
