Cordornices Park with Sarah

Isabel and I take the kids to Willard park a lot, and a few weeks ago we decided we should try someplace new. While we have both been here before, it had been a while.So we ventured over to Cordornices park in Berkeley near the Rose Garden. The girls had a really fun time playing and making new friends.This is a good park because it has so many trees and isn't too sunny. There are swings and a large sand pit for the kids to play in.This is Lulu and her little brother Calder on the swings, we met them here and played. Below is a little boy named Berkeley with his older sister, whom I have also seen at Habitot before.Holly and Sarah are making music with the fun rattle tubes, one day I should bring a mallet for her to bang on them and see if that sounds pretty.I brought Holly's sand toys with me into the park, remembering that there was a big sand bit, and she had a lot of fun carrying her little bucket around like a purse.There were these two older boys who invaded the baby area of the park, and Holly wanted to play with them. They were playing make believe and were captains of this ship.Holly kept getting into the middle of there game so they decided to designate her the on board cook. It was pretty cute, and she was happy to be involved.She would carry sand over to the table and dump out her bucket and then get more sand, um.. I mean gruel for the crew!Here is Sarah and Isabel playing on the slide. Sarah loves the slide. These were fun because the kids could go down two by two together.Sarah is getting really fast at her scooting and crawling, and she is starting to pull up on just about everything, including her stroller.Since it was so shady we had to dress the girls in warmer cloths then usual, here is holly showing off her cute purple hoody. She snagged Isabel's phone and is running off.But I called her back and made sure she put it back in Isabel's bag so she would not loose it. Here they are talking on the phone to each other.When it was time to go, Holly followed the path and walked back through the park and up the hill. We had fun and it was a good change of scenery.

I love park pics! How cool to grow up in Berkeley with a name like Berkeley? I love Hollys little Hoody, so sweet. Awww on board cook? That's so adorable! I really love that picture of Holly and her little bucket purse sucking her finger, she looks so pretty! Looks like Sarah won't be long before she walks! Holly looks so proud with herself for 'snagging' the phone as you put it.
