just playin'

A few pics from the last week or so...

Bran and his favorite giraffe buddy. Seriously, don't come between these two.

I could barely get this girl to stand still long enough for a picture! I guess the park is fun, or something...

See? How hard is it to look at the camera for 2 seconds?? I know, I know...when you're 2, it's really hard.

El Fortín...that other little person is Nuala...once again, no patience! Look at my boy's grin, though! He honestly is a pro at just facing the camera and holding a big cheesy grin/grimace for a few seconds. Nuala will try, but always turns away about 1/2 a second too soon...sigh.

Here I was telling him to hug the pole, but he decided he wanted to hug himself instead. Who am I to argue? I'd rather hug him than the pole, too...

Also at this park, there's a tire attached to a fast zip-line that all the "big" kids go on. Nuala has allllways wanted to do this, so we let 'em. Of course, Z spotted them a good bit, but they held on like little monkeys and LOVED it. Bran did, too, but especially Nuala. She squealed the whole entire time and insisted that they both do it again. She is so adventurous. It makes my heart sing! I just love how much she enjoys everything, and just always wants to try new things. And Bran. I just love how hesitant he can be sometimes. He'll just be such a little boy, wanting to hold onto his mama. I mean, he can be adventurous, too, and climbs like a little lizard with no fear, but he's a bit more cautious than N still and it's just so sweet :)

A merry-go-round just plunked on the corner of our nearby shoppin' street. It's outside of this little children's boutique that we never, EVER go in because it's a tad pricey, but we don't mind using the merry-go-round. I'll look in their windows occasionally. I figure we're at least good advertisement for them.

Fun times, fun times...

(Happy 28th, Erin!)
