Nolan's New Slide

Today, Nolan's babysitter asked if we would like her twins' old slide because it was taking up too much room.  I've been looking all over for a slide at yard sales and on Craigslist, so I was excited to take it off of her hands.  I was thinking a plain little tikes slide with the red slide and blue ladder.  Oh no, this slide is mint!!  Rock climbing on the way up, steering wheel and rails at the top, along with a fun slide down the other side.  Nolan really likes his new slide!!  Since, the weather is so nice out, Bill and I decided to go ahead and get out his turtle sandbox, minus the sand, and his swing.

 Big boy at the top!

 Nolan loves spinning the wheel!! He can get it going really fast too.

 Ahoy Matey!! I was singing the Jake and the Neverland Pirates theme song!!

Nolan did so good on the slide.  He would much rather sit at the top and play with the wheel than go down the slide.  Partially because there is grass at the bottom of the slide and he doesnt like his bare feet to touch the grass.  We attempted shoes, but he threw a fit for having shoes on.  He wanted to take off his shoes and play with the wheel!!

 Trying to poke out the turtle's eye!  We will have to put sand in the sandbox this summer.  Last year we used it as a pool.

Poot loves to swing!  He was playing with the wheel on the slide when he saw Bill bring the swing out of the shed.  Bill couldn't put the swing up quick enough.  Nolan was crying and then a huge smile was on his face as soon as I buckled him into the swing.  If Bill and I would have left him swinging, I'm sure he would have fallen asleep, but we had to come inside for dinner.  Nolan is all boy!! He HATES being inside.
