my outside boy.

we have been spending so much time outside as a family...and it's been a lot of fun (and cheap)...we got a Thanksgiving Pt. pass from my parents for Christmas and we have been there many times to the gardens especially! We also regularly do s'mores in the backyard....and my two scouts are finally mastering the fire-making (supervised of course).

The boys just finished their competitive basketball season and had such a great time! They are going to move on to a super league team over the Summer and Winter....they are pretty excited! We have loved going as a family to those games this April...however it's been tricky because Kai also has baseball....so we had to do some major shuffling....and quick driving here and there...but luckily he made it to all his games.
Now we are just at the ballpark 3-4 days a week....but we have so much fun there...and luckily the snack bar is cheap :)

Cash has discovered the outside...and i'm guessing this is where we will be 99% of the rest of Spring and Summer. He pounds on the back door until we go out....so he and I are pretty much out there all morning and afternoon...in for a nap :)
He just goes exploring, plays with balls, plays on the slide and in his new sandbox.
And I love just sitting out back (even though it's been chilly) listening to Pandora on my phone and reading the paper....I find it relaxing because i'm not in the house thinking I should be cleaning or something :(

Here Cash one of the days at the ballpark...he only stays in this for about 30 min....then runs around the other 2 hours! ugh.
