enjoying the great outdoors

Because summers here are so incredibly hot we worked hard at trying to enjoy the cooler days of spring. Fortunately for us, this summer hasn't been too bad so far either so we have had an extended time of enjoying the great outdoors,

We took Zeke and Ethan to the park several times and enjoyed family walks as well. One time we got to meet up with Zeke's best friend and his family and they enjoyed the slides and even watching tadpoles in a little pond.

Zeke especially loves going on family walks in the park. This usually involves a short drive, playing on the playground for awhile and then finally packing up Ethan in the stroller and walking the perimeter of the park which has beautiful landscaping and lots of other families walking around.
One day we had some family pictures taken by a friend of ours, and while we were there Scott took the opportunity to show off his abilities on the jungle gym while Zeke played on one of those blow up jumpy slide things.
We really enjoy the beauty of this country, and when its not dusty out there are lots of ways to get out and enjoy God's creation. It is very hard for most people to believe just how beautiful this country is until they see it with their own eyes. I'm tellin' ya though, there is no place like it!

The pictures you had taken in the park were beautiful! I had no idea you had places like that there :) I always pictures it more dusty and dry - not those colorful gardens!
