Playing Outside is her FAVORITE time!

Ana has always LOVED playing outside. Since we moved here she will go outside every afternoon and not come in for hours. She will play with the sticks, leaves, and bring me bugs. (Which is SO thoughtful!) With us having a big backyard we thought is was time to start getting her some fun toys! This tire swing horse is a FUN time! She picked the "red one" and I couldn't resist! How can you live in TX and not have a horse? :)

We've had this play system for about a month now and she STILL loves it! It's great for when her friends are over too. NEVER gets old!

Pooks even likes it! She was seriously thinking about how to get down that slide...it was so funny!


With Ana climbing everything she can...we got the rock wall for her! RIGHT up her alley!


But EVERY monkey needs monkey bars and THIS is what she does everyday. Gets up there (by herself) and just hangs! I check out the windows on her and she is always so careful and tries new stuff all the time. So far we haven't had any trips to the emergency room yet!

This move always makes Marc nervous. The "walk/crawl" across the top and climb OVER the top into the platform. BUT, it's her outlet. The only thing she still gets in trouble for at "camp" or VBS or ANY other activities she is apart of is the fact that she's a climber I feel like she just NEEDS to climb...it's who she is! Now we just tell her "no climbing inside and you can always climb on your playground when you get home" and that has made ALL our activities much better! :) FUN!

This was money well spent. How wonderful for Ana. I love that you recognize her NEED to climb and channel it in a healthy direction (well, until that trip to the emergency room...hope not!).
