We just want to be OUTSIDE!

We have had an unusually cold winter in Memphis - cold and long!  It seems like it has been that way all over the country this year….

So, we have been itching to get outside!  This weekend, the weather was awesome, and we headed to Shelby Farms!  There is a really wonderful playground there - sand, tons of great slides and swings, and an awesome webbing of rope to climb.  But, we went to an older playground that wasn't very crowded and near a lake.  





After some time on the playground, we headed over by the lake.




Eli did a little wading!


We finally got a kite up in the air for a little while -- took us about 100 tries!


Madeline loved this big rock by the lake!

Then, we headed over to another lake and took a paddleboat out.




It's after a day like this that we say, "Why don't we do this more often?"

Somehow the days and weeks fill up; it is really nice when we just forget all that yard work, house work, work work, homework, etc, and just do something fun!


We really do need to do that more often!
