Going for Walk

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, Alex and I are home all day together, usually without a car. So, after his morning nap we usually go for a walk when the weather is good. (To be more precise, I walk and Alex rides in the stroller.) Since Alex has been getting so good at walking, I decided to let him try out his new skills and push his car down the sidewalk.
He actually made it pretty far down the street before his little legs got tired and he insisted on being carried.



His favorite part was stopping to eat/throw rocks.

Our neighbor's upside down recycle bin was also a big hit (see above pic).

After he got tired, we walked back home and got the trusty old stroller out. In the picture above is Alex making faces at me through the plastic roof while we walk.

We walked down to look at the house Sari and Andrew are trying to buy (which is really cool! and close our apartment) and then went to a little park that is just around the corner from us. The park is called Schroeder Park, or something like that, but it is also "Home of the B Street Jumps" (yes, it actually says this on the sign). The jumps are every little boy's/girl's, big boy's/girl's dream. There are little trails and jumps everywhere! The cool part is that people are always adding more and changing the jumps. Here is a picture of one of the newest additions:
They used a picnic table in this one, which I think was a big no-no, because when we went back yesterday it had been removed. It looked fun though!

There is also a play structure whose only fault is a lack of swings. Alex loves to climb it and slide down the fast slide on mommy's lap.


Hmmm, I am noticing a theme in his facial expressions. This is apparently the favorite.


And, last but not least, here is the super-cool rope climbing wall. Someday...
