Outside Fun

While Daddy has been very busy at work, Elliott and I have been busy with all the fun things to do outside when the weather is nice. We are working on quite the backyard playground. Bret recently hung a swing in a tree, and now that the deck is finally built (yay!), we bought a water table for Elliott to play with. We are working on getting a sandbox, but that means driving to Toys R Us without Elliott so that we can fit it in the car.

Water Table fun. Elliott dunked the top of his head in the water.

Elliott smiles victoriously after winning a fight with blackberries.

Elliott sports his new bathing suit when the temperature hits 90 degrees. We found out that Elliott DOES NOT like the sprinkler yet. Oh, and that Mommy should never buy white swim trunks ever again.


What's better on a hot spring day than a popsicle? Well, apparently Elliott can think of many things. Not a fan of the cold... yet he kept eating it??


Elliott rocks out in his tree swing. Makes raking all those leaves every fall worth it.




His shirt says "Gnarly Little Dude." 'Nuff said.
