the little things...

My good friend Beth invited us over a couple weeks ago for an afternoon of fun in the sun. I always feel so welcome at her house; she is attentive to the little things that are important.

She had lugged out their huge, never used wading pool and filled it earlier so it wouldn't be freezing. They put a sprinkler under the trampoline so that the boys would also have a place to get wet and have fun.

Her daughter, Evie (at the top with Ava) generously gave Ava an old bike that she had outgrown, along with some princess accessories.

We stayed for hours, enjoying the each other's company, sunshine, and the kid's laughter. Thanks, Beth!
