A Breath of Fresh Air

It was a beautiful, bright, sunny day today, so we took advantage of the fresh winter air to get outdoors and have some fun. I love having a little playground right next door. I also love having a leasing office right across the street for when you accidentally lock yourself out of the house as you are leaving for the playground. Not that anything like that happened :) I also love that Jake is very patient with me...very patient :)
The kids had a blast running, swinging, jumping, screaming, playing with other kids...doing all the things that kids do best. It was great to be outside and let them go wild and not have to worry about the noise level and neighbors. Oh, I can't wait for springtime to come so that we can be outdoors more often!!
Nate is getting more daring! Last summer he wouldn't do this unless someone held him. Today he just followed his sisters and didn't even ask for help. He's getting to be so grown up and brave!
Taking a break...
Enjoying the ride...
Loving that smile...
Pretty in purple...
Isn't mulch just so much fun?
A winter outdoor adventure wouldn't be complete without some hot chocolate afterwards!
