Sun and Snow



It has been crazy warm around here lately. We're talking high 70's to low 80's at the beach! Nolan spent Thursday morning in a swim diaper playing with the dogs and his water table out in the courtyard. When I finally put him down for a nap we stayed with the "naked Nolan" theme and he just went to sleep in a diaper.



Funny enough, Thursday was also Snow Day at Farmer's Market. They shipped in something like 15 tons of snow and made play areas for different age groups to frolic in the snow. Nolan equipped himself with gloves and got to spend a whopping 5 minutes in the snow before the next group of kids moved in.
Even though the snow play didn't last as long as we had hoped, there was no shortage of things to do. Nolan spent some time exploring an art gallery that had a designated spot that he could make his own art work on the wall. Unfortunately, the markers were permanent colored Sharpies but not to worry, I'm sure his skin cell will shed and so will the marker on his face ... eventually. Then we were off to Puppet Theater with a storyline very similar to Little Red Riding Hood. Nolan joined in with the "yeah's" "boo's" "yes's" and "no's" and really enjoyed himself. After sampling some fruit, he got to explore a real live fire truck. All in all, it was a pretty fun day for it just being Thursday!
