Coming from little Cedarville, Ohio, Labor Day is a big deal. I grew up with celebrations of a parade, festival, and even fireworks to celebrate the holiday. Now that I've moved away, I still get a little sad to think it's pretty much like any other day off. I decided to celebrate by taking Jonah to a park because I did not want to be cooped up on such a great holiday.
We went to one of the many fantastic playgrounds Winston Salem has close by to where we live. I particularly like this one because it not only has a lot of space but also has a fence around the perimeter. Jonah is a wanderer so it was nice to just let him run and do his thing. I still can't get him on the swings, though, he just cries and wants out immediately.
Jonah loves the slide!
It's a bit tricky watching him because he can manage all the slides but not all of the climbing equipment.
I always thought this was a boring toy for a playground. Then I brought my small child and it all made sense.
Cheering for Jonah.
Looking up to find Daddy.
It's a lot of work to go down a slide.
Down we go!
Whew! Safe landing.
Run Run Run! He loves to run and jump and everything else little boys like to do.
"Are you coming down, too?"
The park is fairly large and we find the nicest little black cat on our way. Jonah just loves to pet cats and dogs.
