the kids have always grumbled about playing outside, and just recently cooper has realized that he has FUN out there – imagine the possibilities (he loves his scooter, his tricycle (though he just learned to ride his two-wheeler with training wheels three days ago), and play under the boat & behind the shed)! kendall is [...]
