park park and more park

Las Vegas is really too hot, we could never go to the park in the summer because it was unbearable, so now that things are cooling off - upper 80s, I am trying to get to the park as much as we can. I took Summer to the park on Saturday and Sunday so she could run around and have lots of fun. Summer enjoys the kids, the ducks, the slide, being outside, and she never gives me attitude when it is time to leave, yet anyway. On Saturday I also went to the bookstore to get more books for Summer. She loves playing with books and looking at the pictures. I ended up getting 5 new books and a floor puzzle. The floor puzzle came with a large poster of different animals. I taped it to the wall so Summer could look at it and point out all the animals. It has a dog, tiger, pony, cat, chicks, snake, rabbit, to name a few. I taped it at her level with a lot of tape so she would not rip it off the wall. After the book store we went to see Grandpa at work. The jewelry store he works at has a play area and Summer found a car. She started zooming it around the floor so we decided she should have a play car. On Sunday Grandpa bought Summer three new cars, a Barbie Mustang with a Barbie inside, a Nascar that zooms around the room and a Leap Frog bus with three passengers that Summer can take out or put in. The Bus also plays a couple songs, The Wheels on the Bus, ABC's and has the ABC letters all around the bus that she can push to hear what they are and what they sound like - very cool toy. Besides the new books, new cars, park trips, I also baked pumpkin pies and made Green Pepper Soup and a yummy meatloaf for dinner. Summer ate both dinners, she didn't seem to care for the pie (of course) but she ate everything else. It was another great weekend.
