Simple Games, Solid Bonds

For the girls, the best thing about the farmer's market had to be the wonderfully big park across the street...
There were slides everywhere of various sizes, but Lily and Sophia chose this big one as their favorite.  An additional bonus on this warm day is that they picked the slide that was shaded...
The slide gave them more than just enjoyment.  It also gave them crazy hair...
This "crazy hair" bond seemed to bring the girls closer together...
They even took time to tiptoe across the balance beam together...
Sophia stopped to give me a pose straight out of Lily's book...
Then she resumed walking across the beam with an incredible amount of determination and concentration (notice the hands)...
Little did Lily know that in mere moments, her sitting at the end of the slide would turn into a game...
As Lily sat there, Sophia would slide down and her feet would hit Lily's bottom and then they would react like this...
Little did I know that this game of theirs would give me so much enjoyment to watch.  Their favorite slide quickly turned into my favorite slide, but for reasons different from theirs...
Although today we did something as simple as going to the park, I felt like something more magical happened.  I think you would have to be there to understand.  Today I saw a special bond form between my two girls and it warmed my heart immensely.
