To the Park

We have been going out to the park a lot lately. Chance likes it outside and he is getting more and more active each day that the park is a great place to be. Plus there are a lot of different parks in the area so we have a variety of places to go. A few days ago we went to Audubon Park again because it has lots of wide open spaces to roam around. Chance had a great time crawling and practicing his outdoor walking in the grass. He has been more timid about walking when we are out I think it is just because he can get to things faster if he crawls and outside there are so many fun things to see and play with he can't be bothered to walk. But he is trying his outdoor walking more every time we go out. He then found a nice dirt trail as you can see in the first picture where he got himself very...well...dirty. We also found a fountain in the park that we had never seen before. A woman gave her jewels to the park when she died and in 1923 they built this fountain for all to enjoy. The inscription reads "To all the little children on New Orleans" so this fountain, in a way is for Chance. It is low tot he ground and perfect for playing, We let him splash around in it and he had a really good time. We had to remove his shoes, socks and overalls before putting him in the car. It was well worth it, and this will be a perfect place to come back to in the hot summer months for a little splashing. Next time maybe we will wear something a little easier to splash in.
