Enjoying Play Time Outside

We finally got some long, overdue nice weather to enjoy outside! I think it got over +10 once or twice this week, but honestly...anything above 0 is a welcome pleasure around here! Braden's new obsession is this:

In and out...in and out...and then he occasionally walks around our deck, which is conveniently and safely locked in or is like a big "play pen" or even a "prison" as people have commented :)

This is probably the closest he's ever gotten to Miles!

Could you not just squeeze him??

Looking off the deck by our bathroom to the northeast, here is Kihei on one of the dirt piles (which is now a gopher hill)...another "to do" list for this spring/summer to level them off.

And along with all the nice weather comes the melting of all the snow...

So we enjoyed a week or so of spring and the meltdown....and then we woke up to this today:

So here we go again! I'm not surprised at all...I just think we've had more than our fair share of the white stuff this year. And this probably isn't the last of it!
