Grandma and Grandpa were outside when we arrived, so we enjoyed some outside time. Or some of us enjoyed it anyway.
I suppose I need to smack myself for letting my kiddos make it to the 11 month mark without ever sitting them on the ground outside. I guess I never really thought about it. They've been outside many times, but they have always either been in arms or a stroller or a swing or a car. They've seen nature, they've just never touched it... until now...
Tommy totally freaked out when I set him in the grass!
Did I say freaked out? I meant FREAKED OUT!!!
He screamed, he cried, then he turned and started to run away.
Or crawl away as it were...
He was trying desparately to try to find the edge of this strange bumpy rug, but he couldn't. And poor kiddo, I was laughing so hard that it took me a minute to realize just how serious he was about his dislike of nature and rescue the little guy.
Grandma went and found a blanket for him to sit on. It helped...
A little...
Ellie was braver. She investigated her surroundings...
But I'm not sure that her opinion of grass was much higher than Tommy's was...
She was a good sport though, and at least she didn't cry...
A little picnic improved the mood...
but the flowers on Grandma's blanket were the only ones we got near on this visit.
Watch out Ellie... you snack is not safe!
We'll be back. Tommy and Ellie can't resist Grandpa and Grandma for long...
Kota was afraid of grass too, at least in his barefeet! It won't be long....
