Outside soaking up the sun

The weather has been so nice lately that I find myself antsy in the afternoons, waiting for the boys to wake up from their naps so we can get back outside. Henry has been loving the chance to spend time outside again. Last summer he always asked to go to a park, but so far this year he's been pretty content to just hang out in our backyard. His favorite things to do are playing in the sandbox, throwing the Frisbee (we have to keep our eye on it because we never know quite where it will land) or other balls, pushing his bubble mower, drawing with sidewalk chalk and riding his little tricycle. William also likes being outside (minus the blinding sun and sometimes whipping wind). He really loves going on walks, especially when he's not in his carseat but just sitting up in the stroller.
Testing out the double stroller without the carseat. William was a little floppy. Wait, is he supposed to go in the front now when he's not in the carseat?
Henry playing at the park. It was a super windy day and I didn't realize it until we were already there.

William is absolutely adorable! I can't believe he is 6 months old now! The boys look like they are having so much fun outside.

OK, we just had this same issue. I had both the boys in the double at the library Friday and when I put Gabe in the front I felt like he barely fit? Maybe we'll switch it next time and see if that's any better.

Your stroller looks just like ours. You are right Henry goes in the front and William in the back. It is somewhat awkward because you do feel like there's not a lot of room to get the older ones in and out. We have issues as Ainsley likes to reach forward and pull Kaylee's hair :) So it begins.......

I was riding with the boys like that too (Nathan, the older one, in front) so he could get in and out easily since he likes to walk himself for part of our walks, but it is so front-heavy, I almost can't steer it that way! So I switched them on today's walk, and that made it much easier! I also discovered that Nathan can climb in the back himself now, and it's a bit longer so he can rest his head (in front he can't lie back).
