Swinging Through Spring

Spring is in full swing here in Jersey!
The past few days have been beautiful and Nicholas was even able to wear shorts one or two days. This past weekend we decided to bite the bullet and purchase a small "swing set" for the kids to play on in the backyard.

We figured that the kids would get a lot more outside time and enjoy playing more if we didn't have to haul them to the park every time they wanted to go out and play!
And really, bubbles and water play only lasts so long before they get bored!
So far, the small swing set has been quite a hit with both Nicholas and Addison!
Addie loves the swing and is getting used to the slide.
Nicholas just loves everything about it! He plays all sorts of different stories on it and loves that it has a pirate ship steering wheel and castle theme and anxiously awaiting the telescope attachment that was missing when we put it together!
Hopefully, this love of the new toy will last throughout the summer and into early fall!!

Loving the weather!
