Dining Al Fresco

On Saturday it was nice and warm in D.C. (o.k. it was actually hot here). So, we decided it was time to break out the grill and the outdoor furniture. We love sitting in our backyard and having dinner out there.

Of course, with the addition of Caroline we had a little bit of improvisation to do. We don't have any nice cushy grass to put a blanket on (you can see our slate tiles in the picture of Caroline). So, instead, we brought her bouncy seat outside. 

She had a great time playing with the lion, monkey and hippo while Jack and I ate dinner. 

Since the sun was going down, Caroline could hang out in her onsie with no fear of sun burn, even with her inherited irish complexion. It is a great time of year to be outside, since so much is in bloom. In this picture you can just barely see that our azalea in the backyard is in full bloom!
