Summertime in March!!

These pictures are from Saturday and Sunday March 7th and 8th. Snow stayed on the ground in our backyard until Wednesday and this weekend the weather was beautiful, sunny, and in the 80's. The weekend was excellent for spending time outdoors and the time change gave us a a little extra time outdoors on Sunday evening. The picture taken below is of Colin getting into his Cozy Coupe with the sailboats from his water table. As you look through the pictures below, you'll notice that his gray t-shirt starts out dry and gets more and more soaked as he has fun playing and splashing in the water table that Chippy and Betsy got him for Christmas. I can see we're gonna have tons of fun with this thing all summer!!


Colin had a blast with his water table as you can see from the open-mouth pictures of him screaming and squealing with delight below.


Where does he get that blonde hair?? Not from mommy.


Notice above...soaked shirt. Notice below....just starting to play with watertable = dry shirt. Colin splashed so much I had to put his sneakers in the dryer.


I wonder whose football that is in the background?? Notice below...even dryer shirt.


The next pictures were taken Saturday and Sunday at Centennial Park near our house. They have two small jungle gyms and a swingset. Colin loves playing on the smallest jungle gym and can climb up the stairs and go down the slide all by himself.


Colin climbing through the tunnel of the jungle gym. No coaxing needed from his parents and no cares about who or what was at the other end.....this guy has no fear!! I'll be gray by the time I'm 32.


Colin in his wagon on the short hike from the parking lot to the playground. Notice the pleasant and inquisitive expression on his face....this tells you that this is the start of the trip and not the wagon ride from the playground to the car. Saturday Colin threw a huge tantrum because he did NOT want to leave the playground. Leaving was a little better on Sunday, but I think only because Grandmamma and Papaw came to see him play.


Colin on the swings at the park on Sunday. The higher he goes the happier he is. Notice his cute new summer sandals. He really likes the velcro and can take them off all by himself!!
