Feels Like SuMmEr!

Last week it reached a whopping 75 degrees. I set the sprinkler out to water the lawn and the boys decided it would be a good time to play in the water. At first I didn't want them playing in it.

William thought it would be a good idea to run around in his diaper. He watched his brother closely as he ran through the sprinkler. He was a little nervous at first, but became more confident and comfortable with the water each time he passed through.

It was fun to watch them enjoying the water and our backyard. Nick started it all. I moved the sprinkler and Nick thought it would be a good idea to run just around the boarder of where the spray was. Then he slowly got closer and closer until he was actually running straight into the water. What a kid!

They played in the water for about a half an hour... The funny thing is about ten minutes after they stopped playing the sun went behind the clouds and rain started to come down. They got their sunshine for the day.

Signs of Spring!

To celebrate spring and the nice weather, we took a trip to Sumner to watch the Daffodile Parade.

This is the 76th year of the daffodile festival. It is a week long celebration. I was glad to get the kids out. I attempted this outing myself with the three kids. It actually went rather well.

We found a parking spot a half a block from the start of the parade. I thought it would be good to find a spot near the begining of the parade so that we could get out with out a large traffic jam. It turned out to be a great plan...

It was fun to see all the creative floats covered with daffodiles. I didn't get very many pictures of the floats because people kept walking in front of us right as I was getting ready to take a picture. I guess people just don't think that walking in front of little kids during a parade is rude... I am always concious of the people around me, it is strange to me that some people don't. Over all the outing was great. The kids enjoyed the parade and lasted about an hour before they were ready to go. So we slipped away quitely and with out a crowd or traffic jam.
