Yes, Rick, You Have a Daredevil...And Lots of Gray Hair to Prove It!

Without shocking everyone, Claire LOVES the park. The swing (higher Dad!), the slide (wheeeeeee), and the teeter-totter are all so much fun. Now, Audrey loved the park too, but not quite the same way. She would always take the steps to the slides. She wasn't then, and still isn't, one to take risks. Claire is another story.

Claire loves to climb the rope ladders, the rock walls, the chains; anything BUT the steps. I have been extremely nervous about this, but I do not help her. I only hang onto her jacket/sweater/shirt to ensure that she won't fall. Today at Wasatch Hollow park, she kept falling off the ladder and landing squarely on her butt. After cleaning her up, she toddled (undeterred) to the boulders at the perimeter of the playground and started climbing.

Now I know where all this damn gray hair came from!
