Backyard fun

Yesterday was a perfectly beautiful Michigan spring day, and we spent almost all of it playing outside. We took our first trip of the year to the farmers' market. It's still early in the growing season, so there wasn't a ton of produce available, but it was great to be out and about with so many people in the community. Then we stopped and played at the Kazoo School playground, which is at the top of Cherry Street, and where both Todd and Nancy spent many childhood hours playing. Nathan wandered all over the place, checking out the "sides" and playing in the sandbox.

We headed home for lunch and a nap, and then N and I played in the backyard while Todd mowed the lawn. Watching Dada go by on the tractor was a source of endless entertainment. Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Dan came over in the late afternoon to babysit while Todd and I went out to celebrate our anniversary, and arrived with an awesome toy for Nathan--a sand and water table! He quickly went to work combining the sand and water into a big sloppy mess--little boy heaven! I think this is going to provide hours of fun this summer!
