Welcome back, Mr. Sun!

We were blessed with a beautiful day on Saturday! After weeks of really cold temperatures and several rounds of snow, the thermometer reached near 60 degrees again! We decided to make the most of it. We started the day by loading up in the truck...

...and going to Lowes to get Daddy and E's new toy, a John Deere lawn mower.

We brought the mower back to the house, but we decided to just leave it in the truck for now and get ready to head to the park. After all, the day was so beautiful that we just had to get outside. We packed up the smart trike, and hit the greenway.
 

We headed over to a local park, which isn't far from our house. This was E's first time to go to a park.

He tried the swing. He loved the baby swing when he was very small. This swing was fun, but it didn't last long. He would soon be ready to move on.

Next we took him over to the slide. Apparently he isn't ready for that adventure.

It turns out that his favorite thing to do at the park is play in/crawl around in the grass.

He also really enjoyed sitting on his quilt and having a snack.

Once he finished his snack, we packed up and headed back to the house. While E took a nap, Mommy and Daddy unloaded the mower. E woke just in time to help us try it out. He really enjoyed riding it!

He also got to try his John Deere Ride-On Tractor out next to Daddy's. He sat down on it and within moments was pushing the button on the steering wheel that makes his "start up." It was soooo cute!
I think he and Daddy are going to have lots of fun on their John Deere toys when Spring finally arrives!

As you can see, it was a great day. We really enjoyed getting outside and taking advantage of the warmth. Thank you, Mr. Sun! You are welcome to stay around for as long as you are able!
