Wacky World

We spent a rainy Saturday morning at Wacky World. Maddie didn't want to go in the big inflatables by herself, but she loved going through them with Mommy and Daddy.





Maddie the artist

Maddie got an art easel as one of her birthday presents this year. It has a chalkboard and a dry erase side to it. But she especially loves to paint on it. We are just glad that there is no carpet in her playroom!

Conservation Center

We recently visited the Springfield Nature Conservation Center to take a walk on the trails and try to spot some wildlife. We didn't see much except a turkey and some squirrels, however we managed to see some frogs in the wetland area. Maddie is very much a dawdler when it comes to walking. She has to stop and look at EVERYTHING. It definitely takes a lot of patience to take a walk with her and it was a challenge to keep her ON the trails. She loves to be outside, though, so it was a great little visit. We look forward to going back during fall when all the trees are different colors.
