Jumping Rope

We got outside again on Sunday when the sun came out and warmed up to the 60's.

Saturday had been overcast and cooler. And did it rain? I can't remember now. But Sunday turned out lovely around lunch time.
I had just returned from a four-mile run when the kids were waking up from nap, so we grabbed our "new" candy-stripe-jumbo-jump-rope from Santa and headed outside. Craig set up a hook for us to practice swinging and jumping with only one person controlling the rope. Very helpful! Will and Craig did this for a little bit and Will did okay for his first time. It takes some coordination to time it right, though, so we'll keep working. After his turn, Will bounded off playing again and I only ended up getting pictures of Sophie.

She mostly liked whipping it into snake-like waves.

Jump!

Sophie insisted we go in and get her sunglasses and she always reminds me of my Grandma Skees when she wears these.

Love her. :) Guess who dressed her this day... Yep. Daddy.

She's had an obsession for worms lately. After all the rains, we've had a plethora of them on our driveway and garage floor and she's so curious! We "rescued" one that seemed to be struggling a bit in the heat of the sun and the middle of the driveway by picking it up and carrying it back to the grass. She kept going back to check on it until it disappeared.

Loving this weather!
