the playground

we love where we live, especially the two playgrounds we have! there's rarely any other kids there, so it's like a private backyard for us! the kids love the bigger of the two playgrounds, and sammy's finally starting to see the fun:) we've been taking him, but he just didn't understand the slides. he LOVES the swings, but over easter, he finally started enjoying the slides:) every time we put him down one, he would get this HUGE smile all over his cute little face:) plus, now that he's walking, he gets to roam around and pick up dirt, gravel, rocks, whatever he thinks might taste good:)

he's A LOT bigger than last fall

check out that smile:)

on good friday, right before easter, we took the kids out for a picnic:) sammy was very perplexed by the grass and dirt, audrey just liked sitting on the blanket- "just like mickey and minnie mouse"- and jack flat out refused to leave the wagon. he would not sit on the ground for all the crackers and freezer cookies we tried to bribe him with. i don't think he's going to be a camper:) fine with us- we're not big on camping, either:)

taking a bath after exploring the park and playground- i forgot the baby wipes, so sammy was extra dirty:)

he got out and got right back in once he saw what was happening:)
