Spring has Sprung...or so we thought

Last week we had such beautiful weather, with temperatures nearing 70. We went to different parks and loved being outside. Elliott spent 3-4 hours a day outside. It was the perfect way to welcome Spring. This week, Winter decided to return. It snowed yesterday and today. It's freezing once again - how does the temperature drop 30 degrees in a few days??? I guess it's fairly good timing, since we're all sick anyways, so we shouldn't be romping around outside, but it sure feels like we're just cooped up inside. I'm tired of being sick!!!

These are pictures from Nielson's Grove Park last week. Elliott had a lot of fun. They have a duck pond and a good play structure. Elliott even tried swinging for the first time. He has always preferred the safety of swinging on his tummy. He was very brave and actually enjoyed it (as long as he only had a very soft push). He even figured out how to get up on the swing by himself. It's really tricky helping a 5 year old onto a swing while holding a baby.

Derek was super grumpy most of the time because he was pretty sick. We were having our carpets cleaned, so we had to get out of the house. I did manage to put him in the swing a give him a few soft pushes before he had enough.
