Playtime with Daddy is Magical

Bryce starts Tech Rehearsals today for his first show at Weber, so last night we had some special time with Daddy. We picked Daddy up from work and took a drive up Ogden Canyon, around the back side of the mountain, and then down Weber Canyon to come home.  And then, after a beautiful drive in the mountains, we found a fun new park on Nichols Road.

This park was fun from the moment the kids first saw it.  It was a playground designed as a castle.  MayLynn was so excited that as she jumped out the car saying "My castle! My castle!" she had a Cinderella moment as she lost one of her shoes. We quickly remedied that problem and the fun play time began.  MayLynn had fun running, exploring, and showing Daddy how much she likes the monkey bars. 

Owen, River, and I had a fun game of hide-and-seek, then of course, there was more running, sliding, exploring, and swinging.

The most fun for me was watching Bryce experience a couple of "firsts" with River. Since he is the breadwinner in our family, he sometimes misses out on our children's first time doing things, but not this time. Daddy got to take River for her first ride down a slide and pushed her on the swing for the first time.

They also explored the castle together. River likes being outside, seeing new things, and spending time with Daddy, so this was a really special evening for her. We all had a fun evening and enjoyed playing with Daddy!
