Kids...They have the Life

Carter spends most days gazing over to Joey's house waiting for him to come home from daycare so they can play. (Joey is our neighbor and ties with Jacob as Carter's best friend) This afternoon was so beautiful that we headed to the park. Joey, Carter and Eli had so much fun. Carter and Joey enjoyed running across the new basketball court at the park, climbing the jungle gym, swinging and whipping down the slide. Just good old fashion fun.....I think that sometimes I look too hard for "fun" stuff for the boys to enjoy, when it is as easy as the park around the corner.
Eli was the biggest surprise of all....he truly enjoyed himself. He LOVED the slide. He and I went down together. I then sat the bottom of the slide as he crawled up as far as he could giggling all the way and much to my surprise he would flip himself over to his back and slide down. Again and again he did this laughing and delighting in his version of sliding........

.....and while sliding is fun.......
.....swinging is clearly serious business and not to be taken lightly.

Meanwhile Carter and Joey worked on their climbing and monkeying around skills.

We are so very lucky to have such great neighbors and are very happy that Carter has made such a great friend in Joey!
