Let's Go Outside!!

Well, well, well... Look who is loving the outdoors now:  Mr. Mitchell!!  Can you believe this kid who used to hate being outside, now loves it?!!  It's awesome.  We hoped we'd get here someday, and thankfully our outdoorsy days have arrived.  Bring on summer!!

***Disclaimer:  Mitchell still does not like grass.  He is fine walking in it as long as he doesn't fall down and then have to touch it with his bare skin.  Haha, but come on, baby-steps people!!***

Testing the tree bark.

Apparently our neighbor's lush, green lawn was better to play on than our spotty, brown lawn.  Haha, give us a break kid; they have a sprinkler system and we don't:)

Testing his limits.  I told him to stay on the grass.

Slow down kid... I'm sure you'll get to drive it someday:)

Pointing at an airplane flying by.

Checking out our neighbors through the fence.  Sorry neighbors:)

Peek-a-boo.

Kicking rocks with Daddy is the best.

Baby blues peering out.

"Looky what I found mom!"

Smelling the flowers, err, the leaves:)  I LOVE how his eyes are closed to get the full effect.

Ok, not my proudest mommy moment... letting my toddler throw a tantrum and then get his way.  Haha, but he was so cute and he wanted to stay outside so bad!!  Seriously people, this is how much this kid has changed his tune on being outside.  He used to cry if he left indoors, now he cries if he can't stay outside.  Craziness:)
