Although the kids have been in the pool for a while now (thank you warm-weathered Mississippi), today was a great day in the yard. We had gone to church and after we ate breakfast and did the weekly grocery shopping on base. K napped while we shopped so when we got home, it was SUNSHINE time and boy did they make the best of it.
There is something magical about an afternoon in the sun with a two and three year old, splashing in a pool while the little one practices his crawling and gets to know his "cage" a 50 spf play yard that allows him to enjoy being outside, without bugs or perhaps more importantly the elder monkeys getting to him. Now, some people might think its cruel, but he likes it and when or if he decides he doesn't want to be in there, we let him out, so it isn't a cruel undertaking in our minds. The product is no longer available in the states, but it is still on sale in Canada. We've had it since our first monkey, and haven't used it nearly as much as I would have hoped, but perhaps Mississippi is the place.
As the sun sets on this fabulous weekend, I am thankful for the time that our family has had together and the fun we've had. The children's museum yesterday and sunshine today.... it doesn't get much better than this.
