Yesterday was one of those really nice days (along with the today and tomorrow) and so after lunch we all headed outside to enjoy the warmth and fresh air. It really is true that sunshine is good for the soul. Even as an adult, I've felt a little bit of cabin fever myself and yet, after only 10 minutes outside, I was feeling refreshed and energized.
The kids decided to swing and blow bubbles. Now that they are both old enough to blow bubbles themselves, I'm able to sit back and just watch them have fun. I've always been busy working or doing something else when they've been outside thus far, but yesterday I took a little while to play with them and grabbed my camera to get a few fun pictures.
They love blowing bubbles! Each of them have their own bubbles and love to sit on the swing and blow, blow, blow!
Bubbles and smiles!
More bubbles and smiles!
And a good day outside wouldn't be complete without swinging!
An action shot of swinging! Not too bad if I do say so myself!
Another action shot - nice close-up of Zach's boots!
Swinging and having fun!
Zach has finally figured out how to pump his legs and keep himself going for quite a while, but Hailey's not quite to that point. So after I gave up pushing her, she decided to do some other things. First she decided to slide down the slide.
Next she wanted to play with the soccer ball.
Finally, she decided that she'd blow some more bubbles.
The kids were having so much fun swinging. They couldn't stop giggling the whole time. Ah, the days when something so simple could make you giggle and giggle!
Looks like Zach isn't the only sports-minded one. Hailey was pretty impressive kicking that soccer ball around. Not bad for a 3 year old!
It was a very fun afternoon. We all felt much more energized after being outside in the sunshine and getting some fresh air. Spring, keep coming and bringing us more warm weather so that we can enjoy many more days outside!
See the next post for a surprise we got while we were playing outside that made our day even more exciting!

Looks like so much fun! I think we've all been getting spring fever! Mike and I grilled last night just to be outside and have been going on walks. I love the weather, but sad there is a storm in the forecast. We miss you guys and look forward to seeing you soon! oh, love the action shots...i think they turned out so well.
Too fun! I know I think we are all anxious for the warm weather. I know I am for sure! It is so hard being cooped up, the warm weather just makes you want to go outside and do something! And I agree, I love the action shots. I especially love the one with Zach's boots. I think it is really cute!
