Park and Puddles

Yesterday morning after breakfast, Collin, daddy and I went to the park so Collin could play and we could enjoy the outdoors before it got too hot. We went to his favorite spot. Before we got out of the car, Collin was so excited to see the park. He started to laugh and point the direction of the slides. Daddy read while I followed Collin around the playground equipment. He had a great time running from the tunnels to the steering wheel and then the sway ride (I will have to take a picture sometime). He would only pause if there was an airplane flying overhead. He stopped, looked up and watched the plane until it was out of sight.

It had rained the night before and Collin found one of the puddles by accident. He was running from the end of one tunnel back to the other side and stepped in the water. As soon as it splashed on him, he stopped, backed up and stepped in it again. Yep, he got wet but was having a great time. He then decided to step in all of the puddles he could find. He even started to dance in one of them.

I enjoyed watching him have a great time and me not be worried about his clothes getting wet. I had dry ones in the car. Even if I did not, I would have hated to stop him from exploring what the puddles did every time he stepped in them.
