We Welcome Spring

We have taken advantage of the amazing weather we have had and the freedom to take the kids out in public. The combination of Spring finally gracing us with her presence and Jared's week break before school starts again gave us a lot of free time to have fun. I couldn't help but share a little of our adventures...
We went to costco, which is always a fun adventure!

Finally in some summer clothes, ready to play in the sun and enjoy a neighborhood BBQ

Playing with friends, just too much fun.

We also spent time relaxing in the warm sun (well...ok, I relaxed and watched Jared work hard on our yard)

Beyond a beautiful day, the best kind of day to sit in the sun and read a good book while the kids take a nap.

But of course, the minute they woke up we were back outside together.

We even decided to venture out to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point, the kids loved seeing so many people. We even let them try a few booth treats...

This is my favorite treat (I only get it once a year)...clearly Abigail likes funnel cakes too!

It was so cute to watch them observe nature and play with each other...

This was one of those moments I think I will cherish forever. I am so grateful to have such a loving husband and father to my children, this picture has my whole life in it...Jared and our children. I am so blessed!

These were my favorite flowers from the whole day, reminded me of my wedding.

We even enjoyed a few minutes playing on the grass while Dad got some work done. This is such a fun age of independence and exploration, I am loving every minute.

We also spent time doing several long walks...the kids were so patient to sit in the jogger. We seriously could not have welcomed the warm weather any faster.

We discovered the joys of bubbles....although I am pretty sure that the kids liked to play with the containers more than the actual bubbles themselves.

We are still trying to learn the term "share" around here.

And lastly we ended such a wonderful break with a trip to the park (first one this year). We had so much fun, 2 hours passed us by and we were late for naps! Who would have thought that we would ever be late for our precious nap time?! I should have taken more pictures, but there were so many kids I spent most of my timing running around.

Welcome Spring, we are so happy you are here and that we can enjoy our days outside. We are looking forward to even warmer weather and long days at the splash pad. We {heart} Spring and Summer!
