Outside Play Time

It is not as though the weather has been fantastic, but we have managed to find enough rain-free times to enjoy some outside play time, usually with Lexy.
Nahla loves to climb trees right now, and our little tree in the backyard is a perfect size for a little monkey.
 What a good puppy shaking a paw!
 We even found a sunny morning to pull out all of the summer play toys and spend a couple of hours outside. It wasn't warm, but the sun felt glorious!
 And Lexy was able to join us, thanks to her new 30 foot lead. I would love for her to be able to be off leash, but apparently Husky's are on-leash only dogs unless fully enclose...they really like to run!
 Tyran being his usual happy self!
 Nahla with her sticks, ready to make a dam
 Us  building the dam
 And the completed dam!
 Then, out came the gold clubs and we destroyed it!
Outside play time is always my favourite with the kids. I am always amazed by what they find to do. Nahla spent about 10 minutes watching a worm move through the grass, then burrow into the dirt. This was only minutes after the creation on the dam, which she decided we had to build when she found a bunch of random sticks lying around from when our neighbours trimmed their little willow tree. I love the imagination that comes from a morning outside, and cannot wait until summer when I can spend every day out exploring with my kids.
