At least for a week! We had amazingly warm weather in Atlanta this weekend, especially considering the single-digit temps we had as recently as Thursday. Friday night we had a family dinner on a local pizza joint's patio. Then we spent Saturday morning at a cool new park near Uncle D's house. Eli had a blast watching the skateboarders with Daddy while Maddux ran around one of the playground structures with D and I. We all walked over to the dog park after a bit to check out the action there. Both kids loved seeing the dogs run around and chase tennis balls. Eli thought it was funny to see them chase sticks too, so he asked D to throw a stick so he could 'fetch'.
This game lasted at least ten minutes: each time Eli would fetch, he would carry the stick near his mouth, pretending to be a dog. Maddux just stuck to the fence, watching the dogs run back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. We watched a little more skateboarding while Daddy and D played on the playground apparatus also. At this point I left, but the guys took the kids to an outdoor lunch, allowing for more good times in the sun.
Sunday was more of the same. Once we got home from church, we moved Eli's basketball hoop to the driveway so we could play in the warmth. Eli had plenty of new moves to show me from his date night at the Hawk's game. We ate lunch on the back porch and the kids took a quick nap. We soaked up more above-50-degree temps after their naps too. Eli played some one-on-one with a friend from across the street and Maddux dug in the dirt. Life is good.
