Kai loves lounging on the deck and taking in the sun in his new anti-gravity chair he got for Father's Day. He doesn't get to see much sun when he's working long hours at the hospital so he takes every chance he gets to soak it up.
Our yard may not be that big but with a play structure in our yard, a swimming pool in a neighbor's yard, and a trampoline in another neighbor's yard the fun has grown by leaps and bounds!
Kai had the week off from the hospital but he definitely put in the hours at home. I'm so grateful for a father who taught me to work hard and a husband who will work alongside me. The result of a few days labor is a gorgeous play structure and deck. It's amazing how happy a few flowers, some mulch, and stain can make me.
A mother duck and her little ducklings passed through our yard. We're not sure how they got in but they definitely had trouble getting out. The little babes could pass under our gate but unfortunately the mother couldn't and she didn't seem willing to fly over with her little ones still on the ground. Kai opened the gate from the other side and we watched as she escorted her little family through the neighborhood taking cover behind every bush in our neighborhood.
Then when it seemed our yard just couldn't get any better for a family of boys there was a tap on my bedroom door. "Mom I caught a toad out in the yard."
"What did you catch it in?" asked the nursing mother.
"My hands."
"Where is it now?"
"My hands."
The toad did make it safely back outside and was curiously examined for quite some time before everyone decided that the Speed Racer took care of himself before and would be just fine if we let him go back into the wild of our big backyard.
