Signs of Spring

IMG_6071_web

The kids and I ventured outside today on a nice little walk/bike ride around the neighborhood.  The sun was out and it looked pretty nice, so we thought we’d give it a go.  We decided to look for signs of spring while we were out and came up with a list:

  • We can see the grass again
  • The birds were singing
  • There are some bulbs starting to grow out of the ground
  • Kids were outside playing again
  • The wind was blowing
  • It was still colder than it looked outside

They had a great time riding their bikes and it felt really good to get some fresh air.  Caleb has become a little pro riding his bike.  He has been waiting for the snow to melt so he could dust it off and ride again.  He picked up right where he left off last fall with only a few stumbles.  I’m so glad that it’s starting to get a little warmer around here and that there are promises of spring, just around the corner (or maybe around the block…)!
