Yesterday evening, in pictures

Yesterday was a beautiful day (today it is supposed to rain). Last night after supper, the kids and I went for a walk with Grandma (my mother-in-law). It was the perfect walking weather...not too hot, not too cool. I promised Ryan we would stop at the tiny playground a little ways down the street in order to entice him to come along because he did not want to go for a walk. He just wanted to play in the yard. At the playground, he gave me a heart attack by climbing up this ladder (with Grandma's help).





But he made it to the top in one piece!



He came down the big slide too fast for me to snap a picture, but I did get him on the smaller slide. Both slides are ridiculously steep and this small one is just dumb because there is NO way to smoothly slide down it because of it's shape.



Then it was time to let Brooke try the swings for the first time! I figured she would like them because she loves any kind of motion and I was right : ). Actually she loved them and was giggling at first! It was so cute : ).







Ryan has never liked the swing (except his regular baby swing inside) and still does not like them. We think a lot of it may have to do with his vision.

While I had Brooke in the swing, Ryan made his way up to the basketball court with Grandma where two guys were playing basketball. They were nice enough to let him play a little with them and one of them even held him up so he could make a few baskets. He loved it. He's so in to sports.

Then it was time to head home. I let Ryan play in the yard a little before we went in to get ready for bed. Him and Grandma were taking turns pitching to each other and batting.







While they played ball, Brooke had her first experience in the grass for this year. She didn't mind sitting in it, although I think if she'd had shorts on, it might have been a different story because she attempted to crawl a few times, but as soon as one or both of her palms would touch the grass she would pull them back up with a confused look on her face. LOL. She eventually got over it, though, and did crawl.







So there you have it...our evening, in pictures!
