Outdoor Fun

I think both of our girls would spend the entire day outside if I let them, I don't think I've ever met a kid who wouldn't agree with that statement. It is so nice to add variety to the day by going outdoors for a few hours. Mommy is excited to be going for walks again, and both of the girls look forward to it too - as long as we make a stop to visit the baby cows, Noelle reminds me of that every time I buckle her into the stroller. We've also had an exciting new additon to our backyard this year - a sandbox and swingset! I wanted a small sandbox for Noelle last summer, but Daddy said no, let's wait and do it right. So this was one of Daddy's many spring projects, thanks to lots of help from Grandpa and Uncle Brian. Noelle's favorite part is the sandbox, Addison loves to swing. Whenever we put Addison near sand or dirt it always ends up in her mouth and all over her face so we let her swing while Noelle plays in the sand, it's a good arrangement. Here are a bunch of pics of our outdoor fun ....
It's much more than a two year old and a ten month old need right now, but hopefully it will give them years of fun!

Heading down to the sandbox

This is the life!



Addison gets lots of wagon rides, while we follow around her busy big sister

The big smile says it all!

You know, I love raising Dash in the city, but the other day as I dragged his little pool out into the grass in front of our building and filled it with ICE cold water (with no way to warm it up--if we left it out in the sun it would get stolen!), an YES...I got a little wistful for life with a backyard. Your STELLAR swingset and sandbox elicit a similar result! Looks like so much fun!
