Thomas Boots

One of the highlights of last weekend was getting Jakob a pair of Thomas the Train boots and letting him run around outside.  He sprinted back and forth through the puddles on the basketball court, loving every second of the fresh air and warmer weather, and stomping in his new boots.

Observe my last dry moment

I'm testing the waters slowly

Enough timid behavior...time to stomp!

Check out how fast I can run in my new boots

I've been running back and forth for quite some time.  What else can I do out here?

Time to up the ante!

Time to do some laps around Grandpa

Check out how big a splash my boots make

Whew, I'm getting a little dizzy from running in circles.  Good thing Grandpa is here to steady me.

Grandpa is helping me stomp the ice along the edge of the basketball course

These boots were made for stomping

This is all great fun, but I really want to get the full effect of these fun puddles

Yep, Mommy is going to let this happen for a few minutes because I'm so happy

SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH

Mmm, ribs for dinner!  I'm hungry after all that outdoor time.
