At the playground, the twins were a little hesitant. Last summer they were still too young to enjoy most of the playground equipment. Given that the school playgrounds are built for 5 to 12 year olds, it's not surprising that a 1 year old has a hard time using the equipment. Bentley at 18 months loved the school playgrounds which amazed me given his small size at that age.
I encouraged the twins to try out the slide. Viva wasn't too thrilled with her first trip down, but her second trip she seemed to enjoy. Jake was happy enough with both trips, but neither twin raced to take a third trip. Viva liked the swing a lot, but Jake wouldn't even give it a try which surprised me because he absolutely loved swinging last year. ?!
Bentley had a good time both sliding and swinging, but then he needed to use the bathroom so we had to cut our visit short. (Unfortunately we have yet to convince Bentley to use the bathroom before a trip anywhere. He insists he doesn't have to go. End of discussion.)

We've been going to Trailside since moving off Abbott last May. The boys love it!
We used to live by Northern Lights K-8, but moved before the boys could really appreciate a good playground (they were only 14 months at the time).
It is amazing to see the growth in their playground play from last fall. Now they are able to navigate much of the equipment...including that rope climbing later, which always scares me a bit...my husband thinks that they can do it with ease, but they are small little guys and occassionally fall through.
Both boys are addicted to the slides, but each have their favorite. And they love the swings, though last year they didn't want much to do with them.
Times change as well as tastes I suppose. What doesn't change is the cuteness factor! I love the shot of Viva and her red little nose.
P.S. I am REALLY worried about this whole out-with-toddlers-who-are-potty-trained thing. Do you just hold them over the big potty? Or buy a portable seat? With 3 kids, how will you make it through Target in less than an hour without multiple trips to the bathroom?
