Outdoor Fun

The weather has been beautiful here for the past few days so we have really taken advantage and spent much of our time outdoors. Today we hosted a playgroup with my MOPS group from church and approximately 12 moms and their kids showed up. What a great time! All of the kids had fun playing in our yard and the boys just loved having their friends over.

Ben was on the go the entire time so unfortunately I didn't get any photos of him, but Nate found his happy place in one corner of the sandbox with his new buddy - little Evan Moyer, my friend Melissa's little guy who is only about 6 weeks younger than Nate.

Here's Melissa with the two little men. They literally looked like little old men, sitting together, socializing and filling a large bucket up with sand together :)




And here's Nate stopping for a snack on his kid-sized yard chair.



After naps, I broke out our sand and water table and filled it up with just water since we already have a large sandbox. What a blast and a great way to cool off in this high-humidity-upper 80 degree day. In the first photo, Ben is probably in the process of splashing Barney with some water, if I know that mischievous face of his!

This is a funny face that Nate makes when he wants us to do something or get something for him. He has dropped his toy and wants me to go and get it so he gives me the sad eyes and says "dat" while pointing at his stray toy.

We think it's so funny that Ben could probably fit in Nate's shorts, they are so long on him (even though they are his size!) :)
