Just another day at the park

Annabelle and GG were both up way too early this morning. My alarm went off at 5:30 a.m. and it must have woke them up. Poor little GG was not happy and they called from daycare to say that she was very fussy and were worried she might be getting sick. We knew she was just overly tired, so B took her home and put her down in her own bed and she was good as new after a very long nap.
Each night after dinner we've been taking the girls for a nice long walk and to the park. If we stay at home, the girls typically find trouble. Evidence below...
Off for our walk. The wagon is our best friend! The girls love riding in it together although there is usually a struggle over who gets to face forward. I still prefer it for our walks to the double stroller.
There are so many parks in our neighborhood we stop at one usually two for swinging and slides!
Annabelle loves to swing and could swing all day long if we let her. She says "higher, dadda, higher!". Unfortunately it's become a bit of an issue when we are leaving the park because she will cry the entire walk home for the swings. I'm reading up and gathering advice on how to handle this. I don't want leaving the park to be a bad experience and overshadow the fun time we spent there. Annabelle has the best belly laugh when she's on the swings - I certainly don't want to take that away from her!
GG likes to swing but doesn't want to stay in a long as her sister. I think she gets a little motion sick. She starts off laughing and smiling and then the smile fades and she looks a little nauseous. While B pushes Annabelle in the swing, G and I usually just cruise around the park. She is such a little climber. She's so adventurous...and pretty darn cute too!
