Afternoon at the park

Even though Maddie has been sick with a cold, we decided that it might be good for her to get some fresh air and for us to get out of the house! It was really beautiful on Sunday, so we headed to the city park! We have officially come to the conclusion that our daughter HATES the swing. We bought her a swing for the house last summer and she has been in other swings, but she has never seemed to enjoy it! We thought as she got older she would like swinging more...well we were WRONG! As soon as we put her in the swing she just got that look on her face like "get me out!" and her entire body just stiffened up. She never screamed, but you could tell she didn't like it.
Other than the swing she really had a blast! She loved climbing on the animals and giving them kisses (yep, I know that is really nasty, but she already had a cold so what is a little more germs?) She also liked going down the slide with us and walking underneath all the equipment. She is so curious about anything new and has no fear! It was fun to get out of the house and take Maddie somewhere. I am definitely looking forward to warmer weather!

Falls Park-Greenville, SC

We visited Falls Park for the first time as a family this past week. The park is located in downtown Greenville and it is absolutely gorgeous! We are so lucky to live in such a wonderful place. They have done such an amazing job revamping the downtown area in recent years. It is a great place to spend the afternoon and I'm sure we will enjoy taking Maddie here all the time!

Jenny Wiley State Park

Today we took a family day and headed to Jenny Wiley State Park in Prestonsburg, KY. We went on about a mile hike around the lake. I strapped Madison in the carrier facing outwards and she really seemed to enjoy it! It was nice to get outside and enjoy some fresh air. It was a beautiful day! We then went to eat BBQ at Pig in a Poke! It was good, but I can't wait to get some REAL southern BBQ in South Carolina!!
