We first had a snack by the pond. There are a lot of koi and turtles in the pond. I may have even seen a shark!
Where we ate our snakc was at the bottom of a big hill, the hill that Daddy rolled down two years ago. Well, lots of kids were rolling down it this year too. I didn't want to do it at first, but after a few minutes of seeing them all do it, I decided to give it a try. It took some practice, but I was having so much fun I kept going up and down the hill, over and over again!
He even got some videos of me. This is one of my first attempts. I got a lot faster with practice (and learning to tuck my arms in).
Daddy decided I needed to take a break and we went to explore the rest of the gardens. Here I show that I've got some of my Grandma Roslewski in me!
We sat right next to the edge of the water for a while and watched the fish and turtles. I let Daddy know I was a bit annoyed at him for always holding on to me, but he told me he had to. So he mostly hooked a finger onto one of my beltloops to keep me from standing up (and falling in!) That's why these next two pictures are so close.
I caught Daddy taking pictures of me, and like I have started to do, immediately reached for the camera, saying "I want to see the picture!" He thought I looked pretty cute and so got a picture.
Then he tried to get me to pose almost as cute and got another picture.
We walked around for a bit longer, looking at some of the art exhibits, but really I wanted to go back to the big hill. So we made our way over there, and I went down a few more times. There were a brother and sister there that went rolled down holding their hands together over their heads. I thought this looked pretty fun, and turned to Daddy and said "Daddy, will you hold my hands please?" He told me he'd "love to", and I could tell it really melted his heart! We tried it but it didn't work very well with the two of us, so we only rolled a few feet. I tried to go down the hil some more by myself, but I was really getting tired so we headed on back. Apparently, though, I wasn't too tired to insist that I carry Daddy's backpack (with the camera, juice boxes, and other stuff) up the hill for him. He didn't mind a bit!
I fell right asleep on the way home, but much to Daddy's dismay, woke up when he got me out of the car. No nap for Daddy!
