This Sunday and Monday were especially warm and sunny. (Yeah, I know the east coast just got slammed with more snow.) After our first winter in a few years, and with the extra rain here in the pacific northwest, it was a nice break.
Sunday, C got to try out her new sand and water table, with sand only, much to her disappointment. Since we have a good sized yard, for the first time in many years, I wanted to be able to use it this spring and summer. Many of the slides and outside equipment I found was build more for toddlers, not a tall four year old. I came across this sand and water table half price on Amazon though. C loved the beach in California, and as it was always too chilly to swim we usually just played in the sand. I figured she would love to be able to just do that, at home in our yard. It was a big hit, and she can’t wait until it warms up enough she can use water in it.
Baby R got a bit of sun while we watched big sister play. From the way he napped that evening, he got worn out too.
Monday it took an hour and a half to get C out the door. I did a run, then we had a picnic lunch and C finally got to play at the park. It was a nice day and spring break somewhere, so the park was full of kids. R got to watch all the bigger kids. C had a blast and was upset when I told her it was time to head home. All of us got some sunlight and fresh air.
Rain was back yesterday, and the forecast is for cloudy weather or rain for much of the next two weeks. So, glad we got to enjoy the sun while we had it. I am hoping that as winter becomes spring and then summer, we have more days sunny days to play and explore the beautiful nature that is the pacific northwest.
