During the last few weeks the weather around these parts has taken a turn for the better. With winter now safely in the rear view mirror (good riddance) we've had the opportunity to take advantage of some really pleasent, spring-like days.
Aiden is big enough now to really enjoy being outside, and loves the chance to run and climb without all of the restrictions that come from indoor playing. To give him a chance to run off some of his excess energy (and to give Jen a break from his excess energy) I've been trying to take him out on some Dad excursions.
We've had fun, although some activites have been recieved with greater enthusiasm then others. For example, on the first day I took Aiden to a local walking path thinking that we could go for a spin in the cool, new wagon that he got for Christmas.
Walking and running on the trail was loads of fun...
Riding in the wagon, however, less "fun" and more "traumatic." Hopefully next time around things might go a bit more smoothly.
On another day, going to the park was unquestionably a success. Both the slide and swings provided some serious fun.
And of course, sometimes you don't even need to leave home. These last few days especially we've spent some great hours out in the sun in our own backyard.

Aiden, your smiles show that you've been having some great times with Dad. Hopefully the wagon will grow on you! XO
Sweet post Dad. I think the picture of Aiden smiling on the swing might be my favorite picture of him ever! What a handsome guy! Jen, he so has your eyes!!
And he looks like Uncle Richie in the bottom pic---do you see it?
I can't believe how old he looks in these pictures!
