When we went to the fair a few weeks ago, we saw this marshmallow blower and we thought Lucas would like it. Because, you know, what little boy wouldn't love flying marshmallows? It turns out, he LOVES it!!
Even Gwendolyn enjoyed playing with it :) She ate a few marshmallows, then
she was happy as could be to try and put a few into the blower. And then just play in the bowl. Both kids loved playing in the bowl, scooping and pouring.
After we played out on the porch with our new toy for hours, we went to the splash pad and had fun running around in the frigidly cold water. And once the kids decided they were plenty wet, we had to sit down and have a nice snack of dried fruit and almonds. (Because what else would we eat? If you told Lucas that you could eat something other than dried fruit and nuts at the splash pad/park I don't think he would believe you. I'm all about quick, healthy, easy, non-perishable food to take with us. I love that I can throw a few containers of dried fruit and nuts in the car and always have something good to eat with us and it won't go bad if I forget about it for a few months :) Always a plus.) Then we went and played at the adjoining park and Gwendolyn was able to climb up the slide and go down by herself!! We were so excited!! She has been climbing more and more lately and is getting so good at it! (and it's actually a pretty big slide - about five feet high or so) The kids stayed up way past their regular nap time since they were so happy playing. As a result, Gwendolyn didn't wake up from her three hour nap until four o'clock. So, we thought we had better take them out to burn off some energy, so she wouldn't stay up until midnight (because she does if she takes her nap late...) We went to another park and they ran all over the place. And on the way home, we stopped to check out this new riverfront area that the town just finished putting together. The kids loved running up and down the steps and playing by the water.
We brought home two very tired, very happy little people :) We had such a great time playing outside all day!
