A Day Outside

I took last Friday afternoon off as it’s part off my workplace’s initiative for a summer schedule.  We get every second Friday afternoon off if you’ve done the required hours, and last week was my turn!  Naturally, I took advantage and spent the day with Sam and Melissa doing things that new families do, namely have fun together!  Plus the budget’s a little tighter now, so a nice afternoon outside together was a perfect way to spend the sunny afternoon. So, Sammy-boy grabbed his shades and we headed for the door!

We’ve done this a few times now, we just grab a blanket and head outside on our lawn.  Melissa was busy working on a Christmas project (yes I know!!! In September no less!!), so Sam and I chilled on the blanket with a couple of his toys, not mine , and of course… the camera!

We must have spent a couple hours in the nice breeze just playing away, with only a couple regurgitation accidents.  That might seem trivial to some of you, but to a Dad who’s lying on his back, holding his son above him… it’s important.  So here’s a few pics of that really cool afternoon.  Funny how those simple afternoons, you know the ones that don’t require electricity, fill us with the best memories…  Here’s hoping you get to have one soon!

Enjoy!
