Indiana Playground

I know I've done plenty of posts before of my kids playing on the playground, but here comes another one.  I dunno why I love taking pictures there - I guess because it's so easy to get good smiles when they're having a blast playing!  These are the last of the pictures from our Indiana trip and were taken Saturday evening before dinner.  We took the kids to a nearby neighborhood park and it had the biggest playground equipment I've ever seen!  The sign said it was designed for kids ages 5 to 12 (or something like that) so most of it was too tall/advanced for our kids, but that didn't keep them from loving every minute of being there.

I'm so glad they had a couple of smaller slides that we could enjoy.  Katie Wynn is always a little hesitant at first but once she gets going, she wants to do it over and over and over again!

...and thinking he might like that too!

This is one of my favorites.  I love that they're grinning at each other.  They are best little buddies!

Thomas and Daddy climbed up to the top part.  It was so high up!  We quickly learned that our little girl may have a fear of heights...you could see through to the ground and she had a little bit of a come-apart up there!

Braving the big, tall, twisty slide with Daddy.  I had already done it and got a few burns on my elbows from taking the turns too fast.  Ouch!

Can't go wrong with swings!

Matt did a little monkey-ing around of his own.  I think he liked the big kid playground.  :)

He channeled his inner ninja warrior to travel across these spinning monkey-bar wheels. 

Katie Wynn's favorite part?  The long ramp up to the playground!  She ran up and down, up and down...

She even convinced her Daddy to do it with her.

Thomas is my no-fear child.  He's all about flying down the slide at top speed...he even attempted to climb up a huge ladder after me.

The playground was also the perfect spot to get a good picture with Lala and Poppa!  (But why can't the kids smile at the same time?)

I'll wrap this playground post up with my favorite pictures from the day.  Matt took these at the playground while I was throwing the kids up in the air.  Love them!
