I have outside babies for sure.
Everyday Brandon asks to go outside and play or go on a walk. Lately he has spent at least 3 hrs a day outside, but it has been in the 70's here.

Outside, definitely! He loves playing outside, and throws the biggest fits when it's time to come inside.

My kids really do like both. I can't say they prefer one over the other.

Outside, they love: playing on the playground, taking walks, feeding the ducks, swimming, going to the park, sidewalk chalk drawing, riding bikes, playing in the sandbox, and just "dinking around" in the backyard.

Inside, they love: puzzles, reading books, playdough, crafts (for Bella), coloring, and playing with inside toys.

Both of mine LOVE being outside! They are getting annoyed with our off and on cold/warm weather.

We need to get a bigger play thing for the kids this year, our climber/slide is just too small. What do you guys have for outdoors? We don't have a ton of room, so I can't get them a full-size swing set I think DH and I are going to try to have the backyard re-done next year, and maybe then we can get one.

This is what we have right now, that they've outgrown

I really want to get this set for the girls, but I know we don't have the space. We'd have to redo our backyard and take out some of the gravel parking area (probably top it with wood chips) to make room for it. Plus it's a little pricey, but it will last forever. Probably won't get it this year though

We have this:



It's currently inside, but will get moved outside soon. We also have a (big) trampoline that's getting put up this week.

We really want to get a big swing set, but our backyard is pretty crappy with a bunch of tree roots running all around the ground.

I never got one of the smaller sets because I knew we'd be getting one of the bigger ones when Iz turned 3 or 4. Plus, we have a park 5 blocks away and my parent's got this one when Iz was 2:


This is the one we got. The tire swing, rock wall, and clatter bridge were the selling points for us. I thought it was so cool that it had 2 towers with the bridge. I only wish that the tire swing was up under the larger tower so the set took up less space in the backyard. It's also nice because it's strong enough to hold adults!

Scarlett loves to be outside and throws a tantrum when it's time to come in.
Thankfully we have a park within walking distance and about 4 others that are less than 10 minutes by car.

Logan and Toby both are outside more than they are in. They have a seesaw, a slide, a swingset next door...then we can also put up the bounce house, and they both have power-wheel type toys they drive around the yard..We are in the country with a nice big yard And soon, we will be spending most of our free time on the dock/lake across the street..it was definately warm enough this past weekend, but we are still waiting on the water to warm up before we start swimming.
