Back Outside!

After nearly a week of feeling poorly, Ava and Hudson were ready for an outdoor adventure. While Daddy golfed (apparently he needed one, too!), we took a trip to Mamaw and Papaw's house for some old-fashioned outdoor fun. First on our itinerary? A new swingset!



I kept trying to get Hudson to push back his hat, so I could get a good shot of his gorgeous little face, but his response? "I like it low!" Hilarious! Now that he's speaking more clearly and using sentences, the language fun has truly begun.



Of course, Ava was happy to pose for me, as long as it took only .25 seconds and came attached with a bribe. Gotta love 5-year-olds. They're smart enough to play the game, and play it well. That explains why we had McDonald's Happy Meals for lunch, right?



To me, summertime always means a new litter of animals. Growing up, most of my memories involved kittens, puppies, even baby chicks. So I'm glad my parents continue to have baby animals fresh each year for my kids to enjoy. Of course, you'd think I could manage a shot of 'lil Angus' sweet face, instead of the other end, but to be fair I was aiming for my son, not Lady's!



As Ava jumped, we all enjoyed the brisk, warm air, the fluffy clouds soaring overhead, and the soft sounds of trees rustling around us. What a magnificent day!
