A Walk In The Park

Last evening, the rain broke and the sun came out just in time to hang out a bit before it was time to set. I went over to see my friend, Charlsey, and we all went to a pretty park nearby. We "all" meaning, Charlsey, her daughter Ava, her 2 big dogs, myself, and my Chloe dog. Charlsey is so great and let's me do a lot of stuff with Ava. (She's my play-date, remember?) So I put her in the car seat and buckled her in all nice and snug. Her Momma let me know when I had it just right. I folded up the stroller and put it in the trunk and when we got to the park Charlsey let me do all the pushing. (LOL, she loves the break she gets when I'm around cause I'm so eager to do everything!) My dog has never walked along side a stroller so I wasn't sure how she's react. She was an angel! Just walked along, glancing every now and then at little Ava (who is a DOLL)! No problems managing the stroller, baby, and dog at all. Piece of cake! She's going to be really good with Ruby, I think. A little jealous at first since SHE is the current "baby" at home, but such a sweet dog that I think she'll do just fine. 

We went to the playground area after a nice walk. So good to catch up with a friend on such a nice evening. We watched Ava as she climbed and took on the many slides. Quite the climber, that little one! I had a ball catching her at the end of the slide, all the while this little voice inside my head kept saying "You are soooo ready!" Soon Ruby will be coming down this slide, too!" It's such a joy to be around Ava and hear her laughter. To think in just a couple months Ruby will be here and it will be 2 kids, 2 adults, and 3 dogs on our walk in the park! Add the husbands in and that makes 7 of us! Great fun! I can hardly wait!
