Victoria Park

There is little in our town more thrilling than Victoria Park in any season. In the spring when the snow is melting, the falls are overflowing, and the green begins to poke through the dirt and snow. In the summer, color flourishes while the waters recede. There's a flurry of activity in every area of the park. We especially like taking our "loop" around the natural part of the park. Then comes the fall with the change of leaves and crispness to the air. The smell of leaves in the fall will always be one of my favorites.

Then you take today: very wintry, very white, ice and snow everywhere! The sun was out, making everything sparkle. This is what we all experienced for Roya's first trip to Victoria Park earlier today! Everyone, that is, except Roya, who was snuggled into a white, overgrown snowsuit and pushed into our Baby Bjorn carrier, face planted in my chest. So, her first trip was more about being outdoors and letting Daddy take a few pictures. Still, it was fun! :)
