playtime with grandma margie

While I was away at a pastors conference last week, Teressa's mom, Margie came to visit! Ava had so much fun with her Grandma Margie. They even got to go to the zoo and Ava learned what a fishy, monkey, and lion say. She even got to see the big lion roar!

I'm so glad that Margie was able to come and so glad they had such a good time. I got to spend a little time with her when I flew back before she needed to fly home. We decided to go for a walk, since this is the best time of year here in Texas. We walked over to the park that is near our house and Ava had a blast!

Here is Ava trying to walk on this new toy, but every time she took a step, it just kept rolling...

The ol' monkey bars... always harder than they look.

Ava had the greatest time with Grandma in the slide. She would crawl out and look at us, then crawl inside and start screaming "Hi!" Then Grandma would scream, Ava would scream, ... you get the picture. :-)

O Captain, my captain.

She loved climbing "up" the slides. Much more fun than even going down.

This was the tallest slide that she attempted climbing up. I was surprised at how far she was able to make it!

She had fun on the "big girl" swing.

The curls just keep getting curlier.

She loves to ride on my shoulders when we go on walks. She thinks its soooo funny when she has to look down to see mommy. I think we walk about 4 blocks to get to the park and she clapped, sang, and danced the whole time. fun.
