Running around in the parking lot, playing with wood chips: Priceless

We took Jack to a Brewers game yesterday to celebrate his uncle Paul's birthday. There was a huge tailgating party beforehand with tons of food and beer and soda. And what did my kind want to do? Sit in the landscaped area and play with the woodchips.

It was an absolutely beautiful day in Milwaukee -- sunny, 80 degrees and windy. Perfect for being outside. And wow, was Jack ever loving the great outdoors.

For the first time, he actually left a ring around the bathtub. He was covered in dirt from head to toe, but the smile on his face was worth it. He ran, he climbed, he played Cornhole, he napped in his stroller and he got his picture with a giant sausage.

Really, can you ask for anything more?
