Splash'n'Slide

With the nice weather we have FINALLY had lately, Ben wants to literally spend every waking minute outside. He loves it. We've tried to keep the toy selection up to snuff out there, and thankfully he was well stocked during his first birthday party. In addition to the slide, swing, wagon, and several bouncy balls, we have recently added a splash pool (a must have for these 90 degree days). It was a huge hit with Ben on Memorial Day! Check him out...

I'm not sure if you can see his face that well in this picture, but it reflects true happiness:)

After attending his best friend Owen's birthday party, Ben had a little case of lawnmower jealousy. Owen got a shiny new push mower for a birthday gift... so since Daddy is a sucker he went out and bought Ben one of his own! The hours of entertainment this will provide are well worth it!
