We all got together for another weekend of Sidell family fun to celebrate Bodie's 1st & Papa's birthdays. It all kicked off with some fun on the swingset at our place on Friday afternoon, and then re-convened on Sat at the family compound in the OT. It felt more like the first day of summer than the first day of spring - at 68 degrees! We took the party outside and after a little excitement in the river, the kids ran around in the yard.

Full speed ahead
I don't think that's a hug
We decided a contained area was probably a better bet for present opening and headed up to the deck.

Could those eyes get any wider?
I think its a hit
