Sunday Afternoon at Airplane Park






There is a great park, made to look like Dulles airport complete with a baggage truck and little mock planes, up the road near the grocery store. Seems funny to drive to the park when there are many close to home but this one has everything just the right size for AJ to climb around, slide and play with minimal assistance. He loves the freedom and we love that there is a fence around it preventing him from dashing off which he has been known to do. The ground is also made of recyled tire stuff so it has some give and unlike mulch, it can't be picked up and thrown - the source of a couple of recent park meltdowns lately :-)

So here are some snapshots of AJ enjoying the park with Mommy & Daddy. He loves to "drive" the vehicles and go down the slide on his own, sometimes face first! Another nice benefit of the park - there is an ice cream shop right next to it and AJ really likes strawberry ice cream. Sometimes, he evens shares a few bites of mommy's serving with mommy!
