strict orders

As my grandpa used to say "It's a beautiful day in the Ozarks." Indeed it was. So nice in fact while talking on the phone today with Rachel (Auntie RayRay) she told me to take Livi to the park. Actually she ordered me to take Livi and my camera. It's just too nice to sit in the house all day she says. I honestly had no idea how nice it was outside until she told me.

So that's what I did. After Livi woke up from her nap we went to the park. It was nice to get out of the house and enjoy this beautiful day. Tomorrow I think it is going to rain and be cold.

Livi had so much fun. I think her favorite was the slide. I was a little nervous at first but she climbed up all by herself and was giggling the whole way down. I love watching her learn and explore things.

We were there for about 45 minutes. It started getting chilly so I decided that it was time to leave. I asked her if she was ready to go she promptly said, "No." She really wasn't ready either. After a little whining I finally got her in her car seat, shut her door and walked around to get in. I don't know how I did it or how it happened but it did. I locked my keys in the car. With my child strapped in her seat. And sitting right there in on the console was my phone. My first thought was I should have looked at the keypad code and memorized it. I hadn't. Next thought maybe the drivers side back door is unlocked (somethings wrong with it and it doesn't power lock like the rest of the doors) which it was. Opening the door though made my alarm go off. Nice. I got in and off we went home after a wonderful afternoon at the park.

You thought that story would be more interesting I know.

Sorry.

Here are some pictures that will hopefully make up for it.

First off I love the hair!!! And second it was just interesting enough. And by interesting I mean scary. I am glad Livi enjoyed her first time at the park though. I can't wait to have "a beautiful day" here. I miss the park and I think the kids do too, we are so over the snow. Now if I could only get Livi to our rocket park and our giant fountain we would be set. Love you all.
