Outdoor Play

It has been HOT around here.  In the recent past our temperature has made a very nice home at around 90 degrees.  So we have been staying inside where it is cool when we can.  But I can just not keep this little outdoors girl inside all the time.  When we do venture outside we have many activities to do.


We have a wonderful water table that she started to play with last year but has enjoyed so much more this year.


Which is located beside Glen's favorite outdoor activity which is his swing.  Both of these are found under the shade of our deck so that we can escape the heat just a little bit.


Running and rolling around in the grass is a favorite (especially if you can find a nice shady spot).


When Glen was born a friend from GE bought both Glen and Grace presents.  Grace got a Minnie Mouse "tea" set.  I say it in quotation marks because...


actually it is a bubble blowing set.  The bowl holds the bubbles, but the cup and the spoon have holes that are like bubble blowers.  Grace took it upon herself to set the table for both of us.  Then she made sure that she poured each of us "tea."  And we had a nice tea party with many bubbles.


Glen was entertained with the shiny bubbles.


He loved to watch them fly by.


These are all of the pictures I have of outdoor activities, but in addition to this we have a kiddie pool, an outdoor playhouse, and a swing set, in addition to many trees and lots of grass that can be always turned into a fun play item.

I look forward to late summer or early fall when we can be out even more!
