New Outside Toys

One of the houses on our morning dog walk route was having a garage sale last weekend, and on the way by I noticed they were selling a very nice kid's picnic table and slide for only $7! So when we got home I let Steph feed Evan his breakfast (I take point on most of his meals on the weekends since Steph has to the whole work week) while I grabbed some cash and went back around the corner to acquire some new back yard furniture. Luckily it was all made of plastic (i.e. light) and small so I could just sling each piece over a shoulder and carry them the couple of blocks home.

Of course, after I bought them they pretty much just sat on the front porch for a few days, forgotten and unloved, until we pulled them out again this weekend. Steph and I spent the morning doing some work in the front yard and Evan joined us and played on his new acquisitions:

Actually he mostly just played on the picnic table -- he's not really up for sliding yet. In a few months he's going to love it, though.

We also took a video of him walking around the table a bit. There isn't that much going on in this video, especially since it's something like a minute and a half long, but he's such a cute kid I thought I'd share it anyway:
