Trips to the Park {The Ordinary Moments} #20
Something that became an ordinary moment for our little family this summer was trips to the park.
For the first couple of weeks the weather was mostly kind to us (despite the fact that Mark and I were freezing in the mornings and evenings…..wooly socks and hoodie freezing!!).
The first time we went he had a nice time wondering around, to be honest he wasn’t that interested in going on anything. He definitely didn’t like the swings! We have a swing for him at home and he’s yet to really warm to it! He was excited by the roundabout but didn’t like it too much when it was going round!!
By the time we had been there a couple of weeks Arthur was getting a lot more confident at the park and was really enjoying it there!
He had started to really like going up into climbing frames and was starting to show a bit of interest in slides but didn’t seem to like going down them particularly!
We then headed down to Plymouth and Arthur got to go to different parks! Mum and dad got him going down slides feet first on his belly which he loved!! Arthur was getting really confident with climbing up and around climbing frames (wooden ones). The weather was not as nice for us but we could bundle Arthur up warm and he still had a great time!
There is a little play area for kids at Mark’s school and I’m going to try to get Arthur down there as often as I can. He’s really enjoyed the little trips to the park and I’d love to keep that little ordinary moment going!

I can definitely imagine the UK weather was a bit of a shock after the Seychelles – it was chilly enough for those of us that live here all the time! But it looks like Arthur made the most of it (yay jumpers) and he’s certainly enjoying the park!

Oh British weather isn’t like the seychelles! I would love for our weather to at least be consistent! Its really turned nippy the last few weeks! Park visits are such fun and it looks like Arthur really enjoyed himself! x

I think sometimes it just takes them a while to gain the confidence to have a go on things. O has been exactly the same, but when he sees other kids having ago it spurs him on. Hope you’re enjoying the lovely weather back in the Seychelles! xx

I still find it mad that you are all the way over in the Seychelles Chantelle, haha I don’t know why i felt the need to say that, but I was just sat here thinking it. Glad Arthur enjoyed his park time over the Summer and gained confidence, he is just so sweet. Is the weather nice where you are all year round or do you have a stormy season? x

Gotta love a good playpark adventure! We have one next to 5yo’s school and I take 2yo most days before collecting her sister. It’s absolutely incredible seeing how far she’s come along this year. She‘s so confident in her physical abilities 🙂 Looks like Arthur had a ball xx #magicmoments

Lovely photos. Nice that he learned to love the park while he was over here. By the look of his thick coat he must have found the weather very cold!

Going to the park is one of our favourite things to do. We have one just down the road so it’s great for when there’s not too much time, or I don’t have too much energy to go further. The kids love it and it’s great seeing them progress with their confidence and abilities. Lovely photos! x

It’s lovely when they start being able to explore and play in a park on their own. Must be great to see the happiness on his face.

It took z a while to earn to slides too. He’d love climbing up them but then wouldn’t want to come down and would just try to cling on slightly stuck 🙂 Hope you’re settled back in Seychelles again x

Lovely photos and sounds like Arthur is enjoying his trips to the park. I love the photo of him at the bottom of the slide – he looks so pleased with himself 🙂

I live in N.Ireland so I cannot imagine we have the same weather, haha! Its certainly getting colder over this way and those heating buttons are being pressed, haha. Gorgeous photos and the kids always love a good trip to the park, don’t they!! x

Simple and timeless pleasures and a good post for showing just how vital parks are and why we should protect them
You can’t beat a trip to the park. So good for the kids to have some fun and get some fresh air. It’s great to see them trying new things and becoming more confident.
It’s so great when you can do something often enough that you see their progress and confidence growing so vividly.
I love that your #magicmoment was also an #ordinarymoment 🙂
there is nothing better than park visits for us! .. and it looks like its the same for you guys too!
thanks for linking up with #MagicMoments (sorry im late getting round)
