Big Girl in a Little Stroller and Hitting the 60s in January

we gave gracie a doll stroller for xmas.  i guess it looked a little bit too much like the real deal.

"what? i don't see what the problem is"

"my other strollers are a whole lot more comfortable than this one..."

this past weekend the weather was awesome...at 3pm it was nearly 60 degrees and sunny!  all of the snow disappeared, and we took advantage of the nice day at spent a lot of time outside.

e got to bring his stomp rocket outside to see how high and how far he could get the rockets to go

blast off!!!!!

giving gracie some pointers.  she doesn't exactly leave the ground a ton when she jumps, so  she mainly just pretends that the rockets are zooming off the stand

look how far that one went!!!  gracie was also a great retriever for evan who managed to keep all the rockets in the yard or driveway

then it was off to the park!  to walk the tight rope

and swing on tire swings

and climb over walls

and swing!!!  gracie doesn't get to do a ton of swinging since evan doesn't really stand still much.  he will swing but only for a few minutes then it is off to the races!  the park borders a busy street and isn't completely closed off, so i'm not exactly comfortable letting him run free while gracie is swinging on one side of the park

this is her "oh no, they just said we have to leave face"

i think she was wondering how she was going to get down...
