We put on a hat and shoes and off we went.The playground at Griffith Park is far superior, but there isn't a lot of shade, and Astrid can't be out in the full sun for 10 minutes before her skin starts getting a pink sunburn.
This park in Highland Park is covered with big elm trees that offer a lot of shade. Astrid can walk for long distances and still remain in the shade.
There were other children playing in the park as well. This little girl fell in love with Astrid.
Watching the other kids playing on the slide and in the sand.
Walking...walking...walking...a favorite pastime.
Standing still for a second deciding which way to go next.
"What's up guys?"Walking/running over to join the other kids.
These 3 siblings had a lot of fun with Astrid. The two younger kids were especially fascinated with Astrid. They would run around her and stand next to her to see what she would do next. They loved that she would copy them when they clapped their hands together.
Had enough fun with the kids; coming back to mommy.It was sweet to see how she would run off to check out the other children and then come back to me to check in and then head on out again.
Riding her first play horse. It's not very comfortable since she can't reach the foot rests yet, but the bouncing motion back and forth made her laugh.Astrid was able to walk and play outside in the park for about an hour, and then we headed home. She wasn't a happy camper at going home, (she hates being confined in a car seat after having the freedom to walk/run around), but after a few minutes in the car she was enjoying the air conditioning (it's a scorcher in LA) and was all smiles again.

Astrid is just the cutest little thing. Look at her go! You're doing a good job with her Rose (and hubby too!)
