Why Mommy shouldn't go down the slide meant for kids...

Mommy was trying to help Gavin go down a big, fast slide today at the park when his foot got caught on the side and was twisted and crushed between mommy and the slide as we continued to move forward. His Achilles tendon is strained and he can't walk on it. :(

Other than that tragedy, things are good. The weather is really starting to get wonderful with temps in the mid 70's today. We went down to the river and laid out in the sun while Gavin napped. When he woke up we went exploring along the river's edge and saw grasshoppers (which he called Bees), actual bees and lots of butterflies. Daddy even caught a few friendly butterflies on his finger so we got to look really close and almost touch them!

The hills are turning green and the birds are doing a lot of chirping. I love that the sun doesn't go down until almost 10pm! It is so nice to hear the birds singing and be able to sit outside and read almost until my bedtime. Yesterday it was in the high 60's and we got some major thunder and rain. Zach was giddy with excitement. Weather really get's him all jazzed up!
