Nice weather

We have been spending every available minute outside, enjoying the nice weather. It has been beautiful lately!! We spend a few hours a day playing out in our yard. And visit at least one park every day. The kids have been loving all of the time running free :)
This morning we played outside for a long time. I took the kids for a walk on their push toys, then I took them for a walk in a wagon, then Tim took them for a walk in the wagon. They love going for walks! Then we had to go to the DMV to get Tim a new license (he lost his wallet). On the way home, we drove by a park and I just had to stop. Lucas was thrilled by a surprise trip to the park. The simplest things please that sweet small boy :) And when we got home, yup, we played outside some more. lol Both kids seem so much happier and better behaved when they spend lots of time outside. It's great!! I'm hoping our nice weather will hold out a while longer!
Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment in DeKalb. So we were in the neighborhood of our favorite apple orchard (Jonamac in Malta). It wasn't supposed to be open until this weekend, but on a whim we stopped by anyways. And they opened early! So we got to go play in their kids Barnyard area. There's a silo full of corn and toys to play in - think sand, but way more fun. A huge slide made out of tile. Old fashioned water pumps that you can use to race little plastic ducks, industrial strength tricycles and a gravel path to drive them on. And lots of other stuff! Both kids loved it there!! I can't wait to spend the a lot of time there this fall. We'll be in DeKalb every two weeks or so for the next two months. Awesome!
