It was a beautiful warm day, so we tried to spend more time outdoors.  We had soccer practice this morning.  We arrived early for the kids to play at the structures.  After trying it the past two Sundays, Connor was able to climb up the small rock climbing wall all on his own.  Once the practice began, Connor was doing better with balancing and was able to do the soccer stance sometimes.  However Connor was a bit silly, goofing around and not following instructions well, so Connor and I did not stay in the drills too long.  He and I returned to the mat to watch Logan and the rest of the gang.  But Connor kept wanting to break into our picnic lunch, so I decided to take him to play basketball.  He had fun trying something new.  He tried to dribble with me, then tried to guard me.  He giggled so much when I dribbled quickly around him.  Later when I made one basket, he was nice and cheered me on.  We went back to join the crowd when the practice was over.  Connor stayed in line to get his stamp too even though he maybe did not deserve it.

    We had a nice long picnic today; it actually got quite warm sitting under the sun.  We then all migrated to the playgrounds to play for awhile.  Stuart and I even tossed a football around while the kids played. 

    This afternoon after naptime, we initially planned to go to a store to buy something, but we decided to hang out with the neighbors as the weather was so nice.  Logan is really interested in playing with Caleb and Joaquin these days.  The three boys love running around between the yards.  The smaller ones, Connor and Joaquin’s brother, Antonio, try to keep up with the big boys.  Our neighbor was nice and let all the boys jump up and down in the back of his pickup truck.  Connor thought this was exciting and a special treat.
