Strolling to the Park

For the last couple of weeks it has been in the 90's here (unseasonable warm for Idaho), so we haven't really ventured outside much.  But today, the high was only going to be 86 degrees, and this morning it was only 72 degrees and there was a nice breeze; So, we decided to get out the stroller and go for a walk.  We met up with a friend of ours and her adorable little boy, Alvin (who is only seven months older than Mitchell), and walked through the neighborhood to a little park.  There were other kids playing at the park and Mitchell enjoyed watching all of them run around.  Mitchell, of course, still has his giant fear of grass so he didn't dare leave his blanket.  But, I think he did enjoy the sunshine and just relaxing:)

Overhead view.  Mitchell LOVED strolling along in his stroller.

One cool dude, just chillaxin'.

He would crawl to the edge of the blanket, put his hand in the grass and then very quickly pull it back.  At least he's starting to get curious about it:)

Alvin is showing Mitchell some grass.  We thought if we put some grass in front of him, so he could play with it from the safety of his blanket, that he would get used to the texture and maybe not be so frightened by it.  But, that plan was a no go; he still refused to leave the blanket.

I love seeing Mitchell play with other kids.  It is amazing how much they are drawn to each other.
P.S.  Don't you love Mitchell's sunglasses?!  They remind me of glasses men wear when they're playing squash (so they don't fall off).  But, Mitchell loves them and they do stay on him:)

Just relaxing in the sun, drinking some water.  Hopefully we'll have some more "cooler" days ahead and can enjoy strolling along to the park again soon:)
