Backyard Playdate

Today Abby and the kids came over to spend the afternoon soaking up the sun. We had all kinds of stuff to keep the kids busy. Here is our new and improved ball pit.
Our rock climbing wall.

Markus took a pretty big nap before joining us outside.
Lilly loved the sandbox and being naked! Not really such a great combination.
We also had the sprinkler going, which the kids thought was awesome since it was spraying the trampoline.

No one had swim suits with them so Joli loaned out a couple pairs of underwear.
Markus still won't get in the ball pit, but balls in the grass is fun.
Joli had her own little spa treatment in the grass.
Then Lilly got a hold of the hose and a battle began!
Towards the end of the afternoon the kids started to wind down by laying in the grass with Abby and telling stories.

Poor Brody was so wild with all of us out there, and the fact that we had all kinds of food out there, that he ended up tied to his bed most of the time.
After Charlotte woke up from her nap, she and Kacie came over to play too. Charlotte just started potty training this week and she's doing great! She only had one accident while she was here and it was just after they got here and she was having too much fun playing.
Before too long the kids were tired, so we came in for some dinner and a movie.
It was such a fabulous day! We all had so much fun! After everyone left I set to work getting the house back in order. While I cleaned up Markus played with Brody. They're becoming such good friends!
Apparently the kids were tired after being out in the sun most of the day. Markus fell asleep on his daddy pillow for the second time this week.
I barely made it out of Joli's room before she was asleep too!

Such a great day!
