FInally Outside

It has been a long hot summer in Atlanta. For the past month, we have all be itching to get outside but it has just been unbearable. The temperature finally broke this weekend and it has been amazing. The kids have wanted to go outside for the first time in a month of two (you know it is hot when your 19 month old says it is hot when she walks out the door).

Sam and Maya have had fun discovering or rediscovering their outdoor world. There should be no surprise that this means Maya has discovered sidewalk chalk and that Sam has reinstated his love for the baseball tee. Here are some pictures of our weekend outside:

The bicycling road crew is ready to go. Sam has been very interested in Daddy's long bike ride coming up. Maya is just discovering the joy of riding a bike. I cannot wait to take them on the Silver Comet trail in a few years!

Maya loves body art and that is no different with sidewalk chalk. She is either trying to "paint" her toe nails or just drawing on her feet. I am not quite sure.

Sam has finally found a friend his age to play baseball with him . Sam's friend Jon shares his love for baseball. They enjoyed playing together yesterday after the church potluck.

Sam's perch on the school playground. We love that smile!
