Fun in the sun!

Friday we went with Chelsea, Sara, and Ana to Martha Lake. The kids played on the playground and then we walked to the lake beach so they could play in the water. Nathaniel loved it and went all the way to his knees and splashed around. I was amazed! He would have gone in further but I stopped him. Maybe we'll try swim lessons this summer.

Saturday we decided to go to Meadowdale Park. We had gone when I was about 7 months pregnant but didn't make it all the way down the hike. It's a 1 mile each way hike through the woods to the beach. It's super steep but totally worth it! It's so pretty! We made it all the way this time! Nathaniel insisted on walking by himself the whole way down! During the steep parts, he was slipping every 5 steps but refused to hold anybodys hand or be carried! He just kept saying "oops, no hold hand!" I can't believed he walked that far! He looked like such a tourist too! He wore his hat and backpack.:) I of course got eaten alive by mosquitos but I don't think they got either of the boys! Nathaniel loved playing in the water at the beach! There was kind of a creek going up from the water so it was barely covering his feet...perfect! We had packed a lunch so we ate at the picnic tables before heading back. Both boys slept the whole hike back which is very uphill. Lucky Esteban got to carry Nathaniel.:)

Today we went with grandma to another park that had a big dragon the sprays water. Of course Nathaniel was loving that! We'll definantly have to go back there! He is loving water so much lately! We got him a little blow up pool today so we'll be setting that up later. I'm sure he'll never come inside now! He's even started taking baths by himself now! He has to have his bubbles though!
