What's Happening...

The weather is finally starting to warm up enough to have play dates outside and we love it. On Thursday, we met up with Brittany and her kids to play at this great playground. They had a tire swing, which Payson loved, and great slides that Payson is no longer afraid to go down. Being at the park showed me that there are definite personality differences in my two boys. Every time Payson got dirt on his hands he would turn to me and say "dirty". I would tell him to wipe them on this pants and off he'd go. And then there's Beckett, who tried to scoop up and eat the dirt every chance he got.

On Saturday, we decided to go to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Both Payson and Beckett loved looking at the fish, turtles and sharks in their tanks. We also went to a dolphin show that we all enjoyed. We were lucky enough to have someone give us their tickets to the 4D Dora the Explorer movie. Payson freaked out every time water or air was shot at us, but overall enjoyed the experience. Beckett, who woke up just in time for the show, didn't care about the water or air at all. Another obvious difference in my boys. The aquarium doesn't allow strollers, so it was definitely a different experience carrying the boys and letting Payson hold our hands. It was a lot of work, but they did great.

Here are some pictures to catch everyone up...
