fun for all

I've noticed that outdoor play seems to bridge the age gap between children. Whether it's winter fun in the snow, or finally breaking free if the stuffy indoors when warm weather arrives, my kids all love to be outdoors together. No matter who it is, it seems that when indoors it's sometimes next to impossible to find an activity to please more than one or two at a time (some too old for Fisher Price Little People and others too small to play Clue) - unless it's TV, which obviously is something that needs to be greatly limited. But when they head outside and grab a ball, a bike or some sidewalk chalk, suddenly everyone can be included in the fun!

I love it!! Yet another thing to add to the ever-growing list of "Why I Love Spring" (or at least warm weather...)

I love outside play too! Your right the age gap seems to close when kids are outside! I cannot wait until Avery's old enough to actually play with Luke and not just sit there and look at him! Plus it's a great excuse for me to be outside getting some much needed Southern sun!! I do love the weather in the south!
