Come along with the Castros and discover new playgrounds with us...

Almost everyday we go to the playground. Maddox needs to let his energy out or it turns into a very long day for all of us. We have recently joined a new playgroup which meets 3 to 4 times a week. Many of these meet ups are held at local parks. This week we tried out a new park. At first I was not too fond of it. It was all sand, not too shaded (it was a beautiful day so it didn't really matter), it is located very close to a big road, and it is pretty big so it is harder to keep track of the kids. With that being said Maddox quickly fell in love. It allowed for many new challenges for him. He is a very physical kid so many things become easy for him fairly quick, but the equipment here was perfect for him. He loved all the climbing elements as well as any place he could hang. Afterall, he is my little monkey! One of my favorite things were these little seats that when the kids would sit on them they would start to spin around and around and around. Some of the kiddies couldn't stop them quick enough and got pretty dizzy. Just watching them the first few seconds after they got off was pretty entertaining! Maddox just kept saying woah woah woah. I wish I caught it on video for you. (maybe next time!) Landon loved it too as he is so happy anytime that he gets to sit in a swing! I must say it is nice to have a child that stays in one place for more then two minutes! I'm taking advantage of it now because it won't be too long until he is running around too.

This is right after he got off of the seat that goes around and around.
