My Aunt and Uncle live in the "country" and have some beautiful land with a creek bed that runs at the bottom of their backyard. My uncle has worked very hard to make this an amazing place for the kids to explore. Ava, of course {being the city mouse}, explored EVERY inch to the fullest!
Her gymnastics skills came in handy when she found this log/"balance beam". She was a pro! She did meet the ground under this log, but only once...and thankfully after a quick little hug and some comfort {that most likely helped mom and dad more than her}...she jumped right back up on it!
She had a complete LOVE/HATE relationship with this swing. She watched all her cousins swing and she begged for a turn. When her turn came, she loved it - for a swing or two - but then quickly informed us "I'm done". Well, until her next turn anyway ;')
Always the climber, it didn't take her long to practice her log balancing on the retaining wall...
Nana was a little nervous and when she told Ava that she was scared, Ava demonstrated her "scary" face...
