Fun in the Sun

The weather this week has been warm and sunny and gorgeous so we have taken full advantage of it. Yesterday we went to a playground we haven't been to before. Rudy was the only one there so he had the run of it. He played in the lower part of the castle...



... and climbed to the top of the wall.

After about 30 minutes he started to get bored and wanted to leave. I had seen 2 women walking through what looked like a wooded area, but they had been gone a while and I wondered what was down there. So I convinced Rudy we should go on an adventure. We walked almost to the ed of the tree line and then saw a shell covered road. When we followed the road, we came out to the bay among the marshes.
The view over the bay.

The view back toward the playground.


You could see across the bay to the nearby city. Tide was low and there were lots of small crabs at the edge of the water. We're definitely going to come back here and explore some more.
Walking back to the car Rudy wanted to take a break. I told him when we got back to the playground he could sit on one of the benches. He replied, "It's not wet here. Why can't I just sit here?" So he did.



Today we had a playdate at another playground with Rudy's friend, Tommy. We ate lunch at the park and stayed for almost three hours.
Here they are being silly.


We took a walk around the pond. It looks like they are plotting something but I think Rudy was saying how they were going to be the leaders and not us.


Chasing the ducks - always fun.


A beautiful tree in bloom just made this picture perfect.




We saw a lot of turtles sunning themselves. The water in the pond is still very high from all the snow and rain we've had. There are areas of the park where trees that are usually about 3 feet or more from the water's edge, have their roots and part of their trunk still completely under water.

After walking around the park and coming back to the playground, the boys needed a rest. But a few seconds later they got up and ran around for another hour or so.
