Tents, Sticks & Slides

Sam and I had a fun week playing with friends!

  Our first playdate was in a forested area behind a neighborhood park.  A friend of mine made a couple of awesome tents and we all brought some fun props along for a tents-in-the-forest photoshoot.  I was surprised that Sam wanted to go in the tent, let alone sit down and "read" a book.  I cherish these moments of cooperative-ness, let me tell you!

It was good I got these shots when I did because pretty soon he was off and running with the boys.  He found lots of sticks in the forest that immediately became drumsticks and we were all treated to a lot of "1-2-3-4" by Sam the rock-n-roll drummer.  All the boys enjoyed hanging out in a little cave that someone had made out of sticks and fallen tree limbs before we got there.   One of them turned to me at one point and said "We're talking about frogs".  It made me laugh!  It was fun to watch them interact.    Sam loves the older boys and will follow them anywhere they go and do anything they tell him to do.

After we were done with our tent shoot we played on the playground.  Sam loved the attention he got when he came down the slide with static hair and kept doing it over and over again!
