a picnic

It has been such a cold spring this year, we have to grab any bit of sunshine we can.

A few weeks ago, we had a day that was just over 70 degrees.  Noah was loving the warm weather!

So instead of pulling him away from it, I put some lunch in a basket and brought it outside for a picnic on the back lawn.

Lola lounged in her car seat.

Noah was very happy with this idea.

It got warm enough that we moved it into the shade.  Noah rested his little elbow on my knee and talked my head off.  He talked about the birds in the tree, what shape the clouds are, the bugs and worms he'd been digging up.

Then for nap, he decided to snuggle my boots and crashed within minutes.

It was a good day.
