We had a picnic outside - just some simple food. We have the fans now which are a great help keeping the bugs away. Max thought it was pretty cool, but just kept eating like normal. Ellie enjoyed her sandwich and some conversation.
After dinner we opened the sandbox to let them play. Max wasn't interested at all, which was suprising. Instead he wanted to play with the balls on the empty water table and crawl around on the deck (I cringe with every crawl about how that must feel on his knees, but he is one tough cookie.)
Ellie enjoyed the sand, the bikes, the push cars and just being around us all.
We even tried out the new bubbles machine outside. It took only about 10 minutes for a whole thing of bubbles to dissapear. Both kids were midly amused. Ellie did a nice job running back and forth in them. Max was a bit confused and having a hard time doing much about these interesting bubles, as he's still trying to get this walking thing down.
They each played outside until their baths. It was a relaxing evening. I leave tomorrow for my week long training trip. I will miss them and am glad to have had a chance to relax this evening with them.
