Spring Day at the Park

It was a beautiful spring day and for the first time in forever I wasn't working, so Nicholas and I had a wonderful afternoon out at parks.

First we went to the tulip garden because I've been wanting to get a picture of him there while the tulips were out. Also, it was a chance for me to make my yearly pilgrimage to see the tulips. There were no great pictures--in part because my options were limited since I was alone with him and in part because I just sort of forgot to move around to get different angles. But I have pictures of Nicholas at the tulip garden in front of tulips, so mission accomplished. It is just fitting somehow.

Then we met up with Alice (and Katie and Wes) at the playground near their house and the kids had a blast swinging, playing with the ball, and crawling/walking around the rest of the play equipment. Nicholas absolutely loved the swing this time--apparently it just took a few times before he got used to swinging. He was all laughs!

Watching them together makes it really hit home just how old they are getting. They really aren't babies anymore.
