more spring frolic

how did we get so lucky to have such beautiful weather for TWO tuesday play-dates in a row? it must have been drew's birthday gift from mother nature. we had a special afternoon edition play date so max could come, he's normally in school when we get together. we went to the park, chased some seriously flocking seagulls while we were trying to eat lunch in the wind and then played at the park. i could've taken this portait of drew without all the grime and goo that had accumulated on his face, but then it just wouldn't have been a true portait of drew - that kid is ALL BOY, dirt and all. it was also my first day NOT doing anything fundraiser related, and i enjoyed every stinkin' minute of it! i'll blog more about that later, for now i'm happy not to be thinking about it either. on our way out i saw this kid, maybe 16 or so and he had the most giant afro hair i have ever seen, i mean it was incredible. i almost had the nerve to ask him if i could take his photograph. but i chickened out and took it from the moving car from far away. hence the crappy photo. but, you can sort of tell how big his hair is although the photo doesn't do it justice. he was playing frisbee with some friends and his hair was so big that it moved after he did. it was a huge treat for me, i don't know why, hair that big just makes me happy.
