Mommy and Daddy took Austen to a local park on Main Street in Metuchen. She tried out almost all of the apparatus, with some help from Mommy and Daddy. She even lasted longer on the spinning wheel than Daddy did.
While practicing walking in her new shoes (from Auntie Heather) Austen stood independently for about seven seconds before bending her legs and sitting down on the wood-chipped play surface.
