Swings, Slides and Ice-Cream

We went to a neighbouring playground with Isabel for the first time a few weeks ago. I was all excited, because I LOVE playgounds, especially the swings. And I was hoping that she'll love it too.



Oddly enough, that park had a tree dedicated to a "John"

Anyhoo, we decided to start on the swings



It took Isabel a little while to get adjusted to why we decided to plunk her in the middle of a contraption that looked like a rubber diaper that was obviously too big for her



But when we started swinging and cheering her on, she started to humor us with a few smiles like it



She still clutched on for dear life though

We moved on to the slides, hoping that this one will tickle her fancy



Again, she was not impressed



So I took her for a spin to show her how fun it is
See her expression? Yeah...



She's much rather be snoggled by mommy

I decided to just enjoy the swings by myself



Is it just me or did the seats get smaller??
My hips were definitely feeling smooshed after 5 minutes. Childbirth has really done a number on me

With that pleasant thought in mind, we headed down to try out an ice-cream parlor that was recommended by one of hubby's colleagues ;)



I think I'm officially calling this OUR ice-cream joint



The flavors were fab
(I got Rum Raisin and Caramel Turtle...Yes, a small cone comes with two scoops of ice-cream. I was not being greedy)



And the location!




Think anyone would notice if I stole this sign?



While I was busy scheming my grand heist, hubby just sat and enjoyed the view

It was a perfectly well-spent Sunday evening
