Enjoying the Great Outdoors

We definitely wanted to take advantage of the cooler weather and enjoy some time outside while we were home...especially since Ethan LOVED being outside so much. My dad took his vacation time while we were there, so we decided to have a picnic at a local park one day.
I love this picture! Ethan was so excited about the playground, as you can obviously see here!
Found a steering wheel...Ethan loves to "drive"!

Another steering wheel!
How is Grandpa doing that?
We got an unexpected visitor!

My dad found this Barbie car at a garage sale and Ethan loves it! So of course, Grandpa brought it to the park for him!

Getting a better view
We decided to make a trip out to Ocean Shores with Tristan's mom, even though the weather didn't pull through like it was supposed to. We stopped and got some KFC and figured we'd find someplace covered to eat...no such luck! So we happened to find a somewhat covered picnic table and got out during a lull in the rain. We were in such a hurry to eat before it started pouring that we didn't get any pics of us all together, but here's one of Ethan exploring the camp ground area. Thanks for the fun adventure, Grandma Bernard!
Overall it was a lot cooler than we were expecting while we were home visiting, but it actually felt nice to NEED a coat...sounds crazy, I know, but try living in this humidity and you'll understand! Thanks to both of our families for taking such good care of us and entertaining us while we were home!
