Nothing but Net...

In an ongoing effort to do more with Raleigh during the days we took her to a little park nearby our house today. Chris insisted on bringing our basketball (since we don't play, I am still wondering why we have this basketball?!). We packed up Aiden and all the baby stuff, then got Raleigh in the car and headed out.

Unfortunately, when we arrived we soon discovered that the overnight showers had gotten the park a little wet. The basketball courts were OK though, so we headed there first! Chris showed Raleigh how to dribble the ball and how to shoot some hoops. Daddy bounced her the ball and she tried to catch it.

If she winds up playing basketball, it won't be because Chris and I taught her so well. She definately would be taking after her Poppy! He was a pretty amazing basketball player in his day.... I guess he'll have to come be her personal coach!


Infact the playground was pretty much unusable. We had one small towel in the van which we used to dry off the swing and one of the slides. I must say, Raleigh is pretty funny. She was very irritated that her crocs got wet and the grass and sand were sticking to them. She kept saying "Oh no daddy, there's grass on my crockies. Take them off!" So cute!




While we were there the sky got very cloudy and kind of looked like it was going to rain again, so we promised Raleigh we'd come back another day when it was dry. She still was a little sad all the way to the car. She's been saying "IS the playground fun Mommy? Yes it is fun!"

Yesterday Raleigh and I 'baked cookies' - they were just the ones from the supermarket that come in a package. She punched out all the heart shapes and put them on the baking sheet. Then I baked them while she was eating lunch. Aiden watched from his bumbo seat!

Punching out the cookies:

Trying to sneak come cookie dough!

So yummy!
