Park Days and Playdates






Yesterday when Nahla and Mummy went out for our little trip out and about, we ended up in the beautiful Frogner Park, which is not only this stunning green oasis, but also perfect for kids as they have an absolute enormous playground in the middle, always full of happy bouncy toddlers and take-away latte sipping parents. So after a quick pit-stop at Wayne's Coffee for Mummy to get her much needed shot of caffeine and Nahla to have some yoghurt, off to the park we went. And although Nahla is still a few months away from being able to run around and play with the other kids and enjoy the sandbox and the swings, she still got a lot of joy out of just being able to sit in her pram and take in the view. She laughed and clapped and shouted and in general looked as if she was thinking: "Me too, I wanna do that too!" looking at the fun the kids were having. Just you wait, my little doll, you and Mummy will spend hours and hours in this very park- and many other ones- and you will get to run and play and swing and laugh and do all the things you dream of doing!

And after an hour or so of watching all the fun and joy, when it started to rain, we decided enough was enough and figured it was time to head home. Stopped to get a yummy protein shake from Smoothie XChange- great as usual, but less can be said about the horrific customer service. I mean, 25 minutes to make one little smoothie? On a quiet Sunday afternoon with me and about three other people in the shop? Needless to say they won't be getting a job somewhere more fast-paced. Seriously I was less interested to know what you got up to last night on the town, dolls, and more interested in getting my drink and get out of there.

Anyway, all in all, a lovely autumn'y and fun day at the park for both Mummy and her pumpkin-princess!
