Centennial Olympic Park

Today, my friend and I took our girls on a "field trip" to Centennial Olympic Park. It was such fun way to spend our day and it was all free! We spent the first part of the morning letting the girls swing, slide, and explore the playground areas.
Handley was really interested in a few pigeons that were near the playground. She followed one around for a few minutes and kept getting closer and closer. I thought she was going to try to pick it up or pet it, but eventually it got away and she was disappointed.
Then we had a nice picnic lunch under the shade of a big tree before changing the girls into their bathing suits and heading to the famous fountain of rings. As the fountains came into view Handley was squealing and shaking with excitement. As soon as I got her out of the stroller and her feet hit the ground, she took off running to the water. Everyone around us couldn't believe how excited and brave she was to be running right through the fountains with no hesitation.

Looks like a fun day! Look how long your hair is! Hope Robby is doing better. Handley's pillow case dress is so cute. What another crafty idea!
