Fun in the Sun

Man, we are just getting spoiled with all this sunshine and beautiful weather this month. In order not to waste any of it, we started the weekend off early with an outing to the farmer’s market!

We usually go to the south market, but decided to check out the one on the northern side of town. It has a park next to it and I thought the boys would like to get some playtime in!

The market was definitely smaller than ours and less veggies / more crafts. The biggest difference though was the tiny parking lot - what a pain! I was ready to give up on it, but Matt was patient enough to wait for a spot. I’m glad he did, the boys had a blast and even Natalie seemed to enjoy people watching. :)

Back home for lunch! Natalie got another new fun toy from her therapist - it’s fittingly called a “Q”. She loves to chew on it, but has gotten the little end stuck too far down her mouth a few times and gagged herself (she’s talented!). I generally only let her play with it if she’s not actively eating, so she doesn’t make herself throw up.

But today she learned a new way to play with it by sticking it on her foot several times. :)

The weekend continued to be gorgeous, so I took them out for another park visit today! This park is just up the hill and I always forget about it until the boys remind me about the time they went to the park with the digger. Clearly, you can guess their favorite part of it!

There is a lot of structure to climb on as well, which Thomas is very excited about these days. Henry also likes to climb, but won’t always go as far up as his brother.

Proof of how warm it is outside - we are both in short sleeves! What a great time of year to live in Alaska - it makes up for the loooong winters with such gorgeous summers. :)

This guy is a selfie pro with mommy! He will always take a photo with me and give me a big smile. It makes me so happy!

Henry is obviously missing from the selfie fun. The toot was too busy playing to come take photos with momma. It’s ok, he probably just would have made silly faces anyhow. I’m starting to suspect he is incapable of taking normal photos. ;)
