today's weather was even better! near 50, sunny and no wind. we picked madelyn up from school and headed to the zoo for lunch. mason was very excited to tell her the news when we picked her up too!
it was much warmer, but not warm enough to not have a jacket. madelyn thought that it was and chose to leave hers in the car. so i let her wear my scarf to help stay warm.
i was feeling the beautiful day and decided to let maddux walk as long as he could behave. he blew me away! he isn't holding a hand when he walks yet, but inside the zoo i let him roam free with his sister and brother. he loved every minute and walked almost the entire two hours we were there. he only stopped for lunch and when we were getting ready to leave and had to go down a steep hill i put him back in the stroller.
we know that maddux is pretty fearless but i was surprised that he took off across the rope bridge. it might have helped that he watched madelyn and mason do it several times before he went over to the starting side.
not only is maddux fearless, but he is quite tough. i have mentioned before that i don't usually let him walk when we are in public places because it is just easier to keep him in the stroller for safety with all three. and hills were definitely new to him. he fell down a few times but would just brush himself off and keep going. he did stop himself from falling once, but the stop was so sudden that he tipped right over and landed on his forehead. he cried a little that time, but just a little. mainly he just ran and laughed trying to keep up with madelyn and mason.
just a fun day in the sun. love.

We must have brought it behind us. So glad you got to enjoy some better weather.
Love that skirt Madelyn's wearing. Maddux sure is an adventurous one. :)
