Outside!

Riley discovered the fun outdoors.  We don't have a backyard and while he was at Dave and Sarah's he was able to play outside.  Since then we can't keep him in!  He goes to our gate that leads outside and tries to get out.  We can't even say "outside" unless we actually mean it.  I know this is a huge photo dump, but what can I say...only/first child!

We have a little basketball court just a few houses down.  He loves playing with daddy!

Learning how to go down the slide.  He loves when he gets to go to the park when Daddy is home.

Getting ready to try the BIG slide!

This is one of my favorite pictures!  Just holding daddy's hand!

 We went for a weekend visit to Moab...even better outside environment!

His cousin, Tori, and probably his favorite person.  I think she trumps me even!  He holds her hand always!

Sliding to Grandma!

He loves the swings.  All the parks around us don't have swings so this was a real treat!

He loved the dirt pile outside Grandma and Grandpa's house.  We took him home right after this picture was taken and he cried for a good solid 15 minutes.  He was so sad to leave.  

 There are 3 parks within walking distance of our house that we rotate between.

This park has rocks!

I don't know if he's trying to get a suntan, but he does this lately.  I'm also grateful and spoiled that he doesn't really ever try and put rocks or stick in his mouth.  

One cold day we were inside and he brought his hat over to me and then pointed to the gate!  So we went out for a quick walk around the block in his favorite wagon.  It started snowing a couple hours after our walk.  He did not care!

Next day after the snow had melted he loved the puddles at the park!  Still not caring about temperature outside.

Daddy is a softy and decided he needed a bucket and shovel.  So we got one at the dollar store and he loves it.  (Notice the hat?!)

 Bi-Centennial Park:

Throwing the sticks over the bridge in the water. 

Little boy and his puddle!

Loves his cats.  This one came to visit us at the basketball court.  

Going out to play in the wagon and the park with his buddy, Charlotte.

Going down the slide all by himself!

 We were able to go play with Dave and Sarah's family at a park in Pleasant Grove (yesterday!).  OOh, swings!

He found this dirt patch and was circling around in it and dancing in it.  It was so cute.  I tried to get a video, but couldn't quite catch it.

Kind of a photo overload, but it's so fun watching him play!
