Warm Weekend

We had some amazingly beautiful weather this past weekend. It was so nice to have some warm weather and be able to go outside without a coat--Caleb doesn't realize that you can actually go outside without one! The kids and I had a lot of fun playing together and talking to our neighbor. We got out the balls, bubbles, bikes, scooters, and sidewalk chalk. Kelsie, our artist, couldn't wait to cover the sidewalk with original artwork.

We went on our first family bike ride of the season over to the YMCA to celebrate Healthy Kids Day on Saturday. We had lots of fun running around and answering questions to win prizes. They each got a new water bottle, a couple of balls, frisbees and new balloons. We came home a while later and planted our garden. Wally was kind enough to prepare the soil for us the night before, and Kelsie did all the planting this year. We were able to plant peas, radishes, and lettuce growing in the garden. We're going to plant some carrots and flowers later this week. We're so excited for our crop to come in! Brandon and Caleb had more fun digging in the dirt and throwing it at each other. Boys will be boys I guess!

It truly is amazing the difference it makes to have a couple of nice days thrown into all these not-so-nice-days we've been having. We are excited and ready for summer! We were outside all day on Friday and Saturday throwing balls, playing frisbee, and planting the garden. I can't think of a better way to spend a warm weekend!
