Outdoor Fun

Even though the house isn't settled, we've been trying to get out and have some fun. Phil and the boys went to the Science Center again, and became members, so I see some more trips in the near future. We went to the zoo with friends. And one of the big perks of this new neighborhood is the cul-de-sac location and all of the kids who come out to play and seem to enjoy playing with the boys, despite the age gap. The older kids include them and watch out for them. It is really great! On the first day we had the keys, we had already met more neighbors than we had in the year at the old house. Alex and Zachary played their little hearts out too! When the boys and I came back to the house on a school day, the first thing Alex said was "where are all the kids?" The peer pressure has also been great in getting both boys to wear their helmets! Yesterday we decided to take a little walk along the water (we'd stayed close to home all day, because the boys aren't feeling 100%). The wind was so fierce and frigid! Alex was riding his bike and kept telling me the "wind is blowing my face off!" When we got home, we wrapped up in blankets on the couch to warm up. That might have been the best part!
