Spring Playground Hijinks Circa 2011

Filed Under: Kids Posts, Writing/Blogging Tagged With: , , , ,

Last week for Flashback Wordless Wednesday, I showcased Emma’s first visit to the playground back during the Spring of 2010.  I was just newly pregnant with Lily.  So, she wasn’t in these pictures that I shared in that post.


But this week, I am fast forwarding a year and posting up a Spring collage of both girls visiting the playground together.  This, of course, is Emma’s second spring to be able to visit the park.  She is definitely more daring by this point and going down the slide all by herself and loving the baby swing.

But this was Lily’s first time out to visit the park and she absolutely loved the little baby swing.  She didn’t really go on the slide all that much, because she wanted to stay on the swing.

Spring 2011--A Day at the Playground

Spring 2011–A Day at the Playground

As you can see, from above, it was a successful visit for both girls. And seriously can’t believe this was over 2 years ago.  I have said it before, but time really does fly by!!

And now that the weather is indeed getting nicer and we are finally experiencing spring-like temperatures, this is a true reminder that I do hope to get both girls out and about to the park more often in the upcoming weeks.  Emma does go daily during pre-school, but do need to get Lily there more often, because I know she would really love to go (she talks about the park all the time now).

Hope you did enjoy and once again Happy Spring from my girls!!

    Reminds me of our first trip to the park last Summer, when we discovered the joy of the swings!!!! So cute!

    I love the collage of pictures! It's so fun to look back on times like that. I was just looking through spring photos of Sofia last year and can't believe how little she was. I also see that you had the girls dressed alike and I can't wait to dress my girls in matching outfits too 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Kera, dressing them alike is quite fun, I do admit I am a bit crazy when I do dress them to match. But with two little girly girls they seem to love it and at this point no complaints. And I know looking back I can't believe how much my girls have grown in such a short time!! 🙂

  5. The Next Step says

    I love how you added the cute little bugs to your collage of cute little Bugs. 🙂

  7. Cyndi says

    Lily is too cute! Love your collage and beautiful photos. 🙂 And you always have amazing giveaways now. 🙂 If I could get rafflecopter to cooperate with me, I'd actually enter some, but oh well. Hehe. Have a great day!

      • Cyndi says

        Eh…it's on every website that has rafflecopter. It never stops "loading" – who knows. It might just be my computer…of which I'm getting a new one this week. 🙂

    Adorable pictures of your girls and Happy Spring to you my friend. Sunny and seventy here today.

    • Janine Huldie says

      Happy Spring right back at you Bill and we also are in the mid to high 60s here today. I will so take it and just loving it!! Thank you as always!! 🙂

  10. Sarah Hettervik says

    Awww how fun! That first venturing out after spring is always so fresh and fun. It's totally supposed to be a rare hot day today and BOTH my kids have the sniffles! Good thing summer is upon us lol

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh so sorry Sarah about your kids and had both my girls under the weather again last week and know how miserable that can truly be. I hope they are feeling better very soon and sending good thoughts your way!! 🙂

  11. Janine Huldie says

    Thanks so much Michelle and was there this morning. Left you a comment n your wordless post and didn't realize that it was finally self-hosted. Huge congrats to you and so very excited for you my friend!! 🙂

  12. Rose A says

    They were both so tiny and cute! We've had a couple of warm days here and both of them have been spent at the park. I like the flashback photos, those are so fun for awww moments, aren't they?? 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh they so are Rose and even my girls love looking back at themselves. Emma recently said to me (looking at older pictures of herself), "That was me when I was baby." So very cute indeed!! 🙂

  13. Serena Malcolm says

    What lovely pictures – and very cool sunglasses!

    Stopping by from the WW hop and wishing you a wonderful day 🙂

    I have a picture somewhere that I need to share of The Princess at the park in her sunglasses. It's pretty funny. Thanks for sharing pictures of your cuties! It was sooooo nice yesterday, and today is sooooo not. I want Spring to stay!

    • Janine Huldie says

      We had had two nice days in a row and was pretty sure the apocalypse will be coming now, lol!! But seriously, I am so with you on the nice weather needing to stay put for a bit now. Thanks for your kind words about my girls and would love to see that picture of the princess in the future 🙂

  15. Christina (Tina) Mor says

    I love reading and seeing photos of their first visits to the park. Thanks for sharing and thanks for adding my link party to your post. That was really sweet of you!

  16. Melissa S. says

    What is it about swings? My kids never want to get out. In fact, they scream and holler when it's time to go. I had to bribe my 2yo last week just to get to leave, lol.

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh I know the feeling well Melissa and last fall after pre-school (there is a park right outside the school), Emma went to the park with me and when I told her that it was time to go home, she screamed her head off, too. And I felt like crap having to drag her out of there with all eyes on me!! So yes, I know this feeling quite well.

  17. Ruchira says

    Swings…awesome!

    Just yesterday we went to the park and I would refuse to get off it…lol

    Love your girls pix…precious!
    Voted for you!

    • Janine Huldie says

      I hate the cold, so I guess I am guilty about not taking my kids to the park, when it is under 50 degrees. But I am with you on the kids being hyper when we go, Camille 🙂

  20. Kristi Campbell says

    They are EEEP adorable!! When we can't go to the park, we go to the Air and Space museum. Because it's awesome and um, hello "ninee" (airplane in my kid's speak).

    • Janine Huldie says

      Thanks so much Kristi and we haven't actually tried the local Air and Space Museum yet, but may have to take a day trip there this upcoming summer from what you just shared!! 🙂

  21. gigigirl says

    Hope to join you for a park outing this summer 🙂 How the girls have grown! Love, Aunt Gloria

  22. Melanie Chisnall says

    I am loving the creativity and cuteness of your picmonkey designs on your photos. So cute! Lovely pics of your girls too. Full of fun and smiles….love it 🙂
