Weather warm up brings us outside again...


Thanks to a little weather warm up, we decided to get out and about with the boy a little more. I tend to hibernate during cold weather, and the fight to get the boys coat on is an easy excuse to stay inside. This weekend though, we got some better temperatures, so I thought it was about time to get some sunlight for the family.

We headed to the Maplewood Community Center for the swim-in movie, this weekend's movie of choice was Peter Pan. When the boy and I got in line we ended up standing behind our friends Jamie and Kevyn and their son Bodhi, it was great to have a playmate there. Jackson really enjoyed snuggling with Mama in the tube to watch the show.

We also made it out for a sledding trip, which Jackson just loved. "Again, again!" Down the hill he wanted to go, so we did. We celebrated Jackson's birthday once again, he's getting used to eating cake and blowing out candles and we'll do it again for my birthday this weekend.

And we made a trip to the MN Zoo so Jackson could see the animals. Dora the Explorer made an appearance which the little guy really got a kick out of. He is still scared of the scuba diver and wasn't a fan of the other stuffed life-sized animal that was there for the kids. All of the animal watching tired the boy out and for the first time in a long time he fell asleep on the route home.
