Outside.

Ellie insisted on spending the entire morning outside, which was fine with us. We wandered around the front yard for awhile, then hauled ourselves to the park for an hour of swinging, sliding, and chasing after every dog who happened to pass by. When we got home, she helped me sweep the patio a little, ate an orange in the backyard, and stomped around (which helped shake some of the sand out of her clothes, thankfully.)

I'm so glad to have such a cute little outdoorsy girl.

Here's a couple of pictures that didn't get posted over the weekend, from some more backyard fun at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

While Tim and Jake were playing bags, Ellie was pushing her car car, and generally standing in the line of fire.

Then the boys worked on their juggling skills.

And then moved on to inventing new rules for how they were going to play bags. "Okay bruddah, this time we're going to throw sitting down without bending our elbows." "Okay bruddah, that sounds so fun!"

Ellie got Tim to do some baby tossing. The problem with baby tossing is that she wants you to do it for hours on end, and she's a fat little medicine ball.

Who wouldn't love a little time outside? Thank goodness for our beautiful weather!
