A friend from my ward called me this afternoon and asked if I'd like to meet her at the park. She has a son Michael's age that was wanting to play, but her son is in morning kindergarten, Michael is in the afternoon. I told her I'd love to, but that it was just Sadie and I, Michael was at school. She cheerfully replied that that was just fine. She then gave me directions to the park. I wrote them all down on a little white board on my fridge and took a picture so that I'd have them on my phone.

I then tried to find the place. Now, if I just followed my instincts and the directions instead of second guessing myself, I would have found the place in no time. As it turned out, I drove around for a half an hour with Sadie in the back asking "Where are we going, Mama? Are we going to the park?" I eventually found the place; I had to give in and ask Siri for guidance. Someday I'll be able to confidently get around without her assistance. By the time I got to the park, poor Sadie was asleep, but woke right up when she realized where we were.
Oh my, what a park! There were so many things there. . . a fort/treehouse looking thing, swings, play-sets, big hands holding a rock you could climb, a slide that went down a little hill...fun, fun, fun. Sadie, my sweet girl, just wanted to swing. She'd squeal and laugh like it was the best thing she'd ever done. She told me she just wanted to swing forever.

| This is her relaxed face, I love it. |

| Totally excited to be swinging again |

| Happiness is Swinging Forever! |

| This is her attempt at trying to get away from me when I needed her to get ready to go. |
I can't wait to take the other littles to that park, they'll love it! There is actually room for them to run and play, unlike our apartment complex. How fun it was to get out and talk with some friends while our children could play. The weather was about 62 degrees. It's supposed to snow 4-10 inches this weekend, but be back in the sixties by Tuesday. I'm not looking forward to more snow, but I'll take it if it comes with beautiful days like today on it's wings. Today, I love Colorado.
