Spins, Slides, and lots of Smiles with friends

It's so nice right now that we can mostly pick our kids' friends, and I love that they play with my good friends' children.  On Valentine's Friday, we met one of my best friends and her daughter at a wonderful park on a gorgeous February day.  The girls weren't so sure about the photo -  
But soon they were running around playing, and Maya was scooting around on the quest for the most tasty leaf -  
The stunning Katelyn on the playground - 
And my little beauty, double-fisting it with leaves -
Collin wasn't sure if this spinning cup was fun or terrifying.  Though he was smiling most of the spin, he claimed when it stopped to be scary, so we took a dramatically sad photo -
Happy to be outside and practicing pulling up -
On Saturday, we met my friend Amber and her three kiddos at another park. 
Amber had them spin and then run to a tree and back, to not only burn energy but also engage their brain to stabilize them after spinning -
The kids had no idea it was beneficial to their brain, but they knew they were having a great time -
Collin loves playing with these three -
Thankful for a beautiful weekend to get outdoors with my kids, my best friends, and their children!
