Outside in January

I started this post in January, but didn't finish it until now.  All the pictures are from January, though.  The first month of the year was pretty mild, so we were able to spend a bit of time outside.  One afternoon while Patrick and Charlie were sleeping, Jack made a kite and wanted to fly it outside.  So, he ran around the backyard pulling it behind him.

This is the kite.

After the kite didn't take off for the sky, he played with the ice that had frozen in his toy tractor.

After preschool one day, we met some friends for lunch at the playground. 

Another morning was spent with the wild animals at the zoo (and with my new telephoto lens).
