It’s A Park Life

After being caged in after my recent operation and before that by the rain which seemed everlasting the moment the sun shone through we headed to the park for some park time, fresh air and fun.

With the swings first on the agenda there was no stopping Joshua as he shouted “higher” with each push! of which Daddy was so happy to oblige! 

It's A Park Life The Oliver\\\'s Madhousewith delight on his face, sun on is face my little man decided that there was yet more fun to be had on this park before it was time to leave ..

It's A Park Life The Oliver\\\'s MadhouseWith just the smallest of help hands there really was nothing that my little man could not tackle this weekend ..

He really is growing up and one of these days he will not want or need his parents to help him at the park .. but until then  we are enjoying it while it lasts.

    Doesn’t he look happy. I should imagine that it is doubly nice to get out, if you’ve been stuck inside for so long. #CountryKids

    Lovely to see you up and about and enjoying some fresh air with the family. Lovely photos from the park and it really takes me back to trying to push 3 swings higher all at once and seeing their smiling faces. A lovely uplifting post. Thank you for joining me for Country Kids.

    Parks hold so much fun and excitement for little ones. I took Little Man the other day, and as soon as he spied the swings, he was shouting ‘higher’! Lovely photos x
