Summer Is Coming....

It has been BEAUTIFUL around here (minus a couple rainy days)!!! We've been ready to get outside & play -- and at this point our only outside toy is a blow-up pool, a few balls, and a bike to ride (but that has to be out front in the driveway or road). So off to yard sales & CraigsList I went! (Gotta love it!!) Well, we found a cute little turtle sand-box. I had to talk Daddy into is as he was worried about the amount of grass we would end up killing ... but she LOVED it, therefore, so did he. (And ask him now about the sandbox, because once he saw her face when we surprised her with it, he was ready to build one twice this size so she would have more room to play.)

Then after seeing the fun many friends had with water-tables ...well, we were on a mission. We now have one of those too!! She can play with that for 45 minutes without even looking up!!

So, with 80 degree weather this week, we headed out-side in the back yard to play with our new toys!! What fun!!
