We are fortunate to have a rather large corner lot with a fenced in backyard.  This day, Jonah was watching as someone walked by.

This was at the botanical gardens.  The frogs were out in the little pond croaking like crazy! I had to go over to it and check them out and this is what I found!

Sarah and I sometimes play a game at the basketball court in the park.   We very carefully walk on the white lines.  If you step in the black, you are eaten by a shark!  Sarah was getting a little frustrated with me as she hurt the focus beep so she knew I was taking more photos.  It was worth it though!

Jonah’s favorite thing to play in is the sandbox.  He loves to sit in the sandbox and shovel dirt into a bucket and then tip it out after having created a sand castle.  He then knocks it over and starts all over again.  This sandbox is at our local park about 2 blocks from our house and we always are sure to bring sand toys to play with in the sandbox!

Stoughton had its annual parade today for the Syttende Mai Norwegian festival. The kids love parades. They love the bands, the horses, the firetrucks and police cars, lots of fun! And this one didn’t even throw candy. About 2/3 through, I took Sarah to a portable toilet and I heard a police officer outside talking on the radio about bad weather headed our way in 20 minutes. So when we were finished with the toilet, we grabbed my son and husband and headed out. We barely made it to the car before the wind picked up and the rain started coming down in sheets! I felt bad for the hoards of people streaming down the streets running to their cars but thankful we made it. Bad weather is headed our way tonight too.

This first shot was a lensbaby shot.  Decided to get out the lensbaby while we were waiting for the parade to make it down to us.

We went to the park today and found some dandelions that had gone to seed.  Sarah enjoyed blowing them so that more dandelions would grow!  We love dandelions!

Its no secret that Sarah loves to swing!

Children run wildly, breathlessly… facing the wind…absorbing its speed.

Experimented with colored pencils and a mirror today.

Playing with drops of Karo Corn syrup today!

Sarah goes to the elementary school playground everyday at around 3:30 pm with her preschool class. Sometimes I like to meet her there with Jonah and let them play.  Here is Sarah on a swing this afternoon.  It was such a beautiful day today!
