Playing at the park?!

Who could even imagine that we would be playing at the park in January with only a jacket?! I know we need the rain and snow for our dry land, but I must admit I loved having the 'spring-like' weather! We took full advantage of nice days and hung out at the park, went for walks, and played outside. I knew it was too good to last, today it is raining and we will have some more snowy days and definitely windy days but thank goodness on those perfectly beautiful, blue sky days we went outside and soaked up the sun!

Carder trying out the red swing. He didn't like it as much and actually tried jumping out! Luckily I caught him!

Carder loved swinging in this swing! He laughed and giggled when I grabbed his feet! It was such a fun day. Even though my pictures were only of Carder all my kids were there playing, I just was with Carder most of the time and the others were running around the park happy to be outside playing!

I love those rays of sunshine! It's like John Denver says "Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy!" It's true! Sunshine does make us happy!

Carder has entered a new world at the park! He is no longer my baby in arms, he is a busy active toddler who likes to climb and balance and slide! It was sure cute to see he excitement as he learned how to climb up the stairs on his own and go down the slide! "Again!" he would say!

This was actually a different park on a different day! I love Carder's happy face as he climbs the stairs on his own! He loves stairs! He gets so excited to climb up by himself!

He was so funny when he went down the slide. He wouldn't take the time to sit down and then slide, he would just do a all-in-one motion of falling and sliding! He thought it was so funny! I could barely get a picture of him because he was so quick climbing and sliding!

I sure love this boy! Caleb was there too playing with his friend and was too busy playing for me to get a photo! I can't think of any better day than playing at the park in the sunshine!
