Outside, Finally

We have been able to play outside without dying of heat. Yesterday was a little too hot, but some of the days lately have been a lot cooler because of the rain. And two of the days the kids wore jackets because the breeze was cool. One of the days it rained all day but in the late afternoon it had stopped and we walked down the street and splashed in puddles.

Swung around poles.
Bensen kicked his feet in the stroller while watching the kids and enjoying the fresh air.

On a different day, one of our neighbors was out skateboarding and Staucie and Parker loved watching him, especially Staucie. Then he started jumping off the back of a trailer which almost gave me a heart attack because I didn't want to see him fall. Staucie commented loudly every time he jumped off. She would say, "Whoa! He jumped big!" She kept stopping to watch him and saying "wow" and "whoa" loudly with every jump. It was really cute. I never want to see my kids do something like that. I will be yelling at them to not do it every time. Daniel will have to watch those things :)

More puddles.
Squirting water into the back of Staucie's bike.

Takes lots of concentration.

She is hard to get pictures of because she won't hold still.

Vroom!

Aaahh, the baby. He was tired but wouldn't take a nap, which is like most days.
