Spring in January

60 degrees in January?  We'll take it.  We ventured out to Jackson Park today for a little sunshine and playtime.  Ben had a blast, attempting the formally intimidating slide, all on his own.  Three times.  With a smile on his face.  He also lasted longer than 30 seconds in a swing, and purposely got woodchips and dirt all over his hands.  My little boy is growing up!  He ran around with all the other kids, stole a family's soccer ball more than once, and made new friends.  Jacob snapped some candid shots of Ben with his new girlfriend that are too cute not to share.  Enjoy:
