Queen of the Castle

October 10, 2012 by Elaine

I couldn’t resist the cool, clear morning so we got dressed and ventured over to the playground…

K had it all to herself so I called her “Queen of the Castle”…

A role she is all too happy to fulfill!

p.s.  This is the extended backyard of our next-door neighbors (who have many grandkids!) and we are always welcome to play there.  I just love it and obviously, so does K. 🙂  We ended up visiting with my neighbor after, who is THE sweetest.  We are really blessed to live in the neighborhood where we do…

    Girl, you are getting so good with your photography! I really need to work on mine so that I can have prettier pictures for my scrapbooks. Right now I’m just focusing on getting my scrapbooks caught up, and then when Eloise gets a little older I’m hoping to take a photography class (probably online).

    So sweet. And I love that you have neighbors like that. Isn’t that the reason we choose to live in neighborhoods.

    There’s a park we can see from our front porch. But everytime we use it, the guy in the adjoining house comes out with his kids. He’s a wife hitter and the kids take our kids things and we end up going home.

    I hope when we move we’ll have a gorgeous play area like that one.

    That’s a great age for being the Queen of the Castle!

    Oh my those tights are too adorable.
    I wish that I had a fun “castle” when I was a kid.
    We had to pretend that the park monkey bars that were all rusted and probably totally unsafe to play on was our castle :)I’m glad that healthy standards have changed 🙂
