My girl has a knack for creating fun wherever she goes.

There are several different play structures at this park, but where does she want to play?

on the bike rack.

I love this playful, joyful approach to life. I relish in it. It makes me happy to see her explore things in new ways. I love things like bike racks being used for other than their intended purposes. This is where creativity and invention kicks in.

She’s getting so big now – taking on more challenges, like tree climbing.

She’s growing so strong, so tall, so confident…

I hope she doesn’t outgrow her sense of playfulness and whimsy. I hope, in the life before her, she continues to find creative ways (but not too dangerous, I’m still a mama bear) to have fun.
