Playing Outside

I have tried to take every opportunity to get the girls outside to play when it is possible (a little tough in the NW).  Yesterday, I took the girls to the park in the afternoon, they were cranky and needed out of the house.  While we were gone, Daddy cleaned up the back yard and set up the play structure/slide thing we inherited from the cousins.  The girls love it.  We even took the computer outside to Skype with BB so she could watch them go down their new slide.IMG_8398_edited-1

Madi loves the swings, and yes, Elmo made it to the park with us.  IMG_8450 

Emma loves the slides, unfortunately the slides and swings aren't super close.

Madi is giving BB a kiss.  She actually kisses the little camera.  It's super cute.  IMG_8512

On the new toy, it's a hit.

This morning I took the girls down to the community center by our house in hopes of having a little indoor playtime away from home.  As soon as the girls got out of the car they saw the big play structure behind the center and watched a little boy run straight for it.  Before I could stop them, they were off running right behind him.  Turns out the building was closed and since we were there, I let the girls play for a while.  We were prepared for indoor play, but not the outdoors; we had no jackets and the girls were wearing dresses.   Thankfully they had on hooded sweaters and baby legs to give them a little warmth.  I don't think they cared too much, but I was freezing.IMG_8558_edited-1

Scooting down the front steps.  They love going to and from the car all by themselves.
