Under the big oak tree

My favorite time of the day is right after dinner when we all go outside and play under this giant oak tree in the back yard. We let the dogs out to run and play in the back acreage while we sit around in lawn chairs and watch Wesley play in his sandbox and pool. It's such a relaxing time of the day and I look forward to it each day.

Yesterday we got to add a new plaything out under the tree that he received for his birthday. His Granny Randi and Grandpa Rich got him a water wheel table so he can play in the water but not actually get into a little pool (which he refuses to do). It's an elevated table that has ramps and boats, cups and towers to dump the water into. He's thrilled with it. Here are a few pictures from the past few days while out under the big oak tree.

Such a happy little man

It doubles as a giant dog water dish

Yes, he's officially our dog now...his name is Cody

That's a mischievous grin if I've ever seen one

Froggy pool + black lab = dirty froggy dog pool

Still loving his faithful sandbox
