Springtime and outings!

Spring is a little slower in our neck of the woods, possibly because of the slightly higher altitude (?). But how exciting it is to see the bulbs coming up, and enjoy the sunshine and balmier weather! We are loving every minute of it.

The lawn is also a delight after not having one for quite a while! I've never thought of lawn-mowing as a chore; it's so nice "have to" spend time outside.

The kids are still enjoying their forts.

This picture is a little embarrassing because of Jenna's stained clothes, but interesting none-the-less :) I don't know who took it.

We went to an air show on Saturday (my first time!) and it was a lot of fun. If Steve was writing this post, he'd tell you all the kinds of planes and helicopters but I don't have a clue; they were interesting and many times unique though :) It was just so nice to feel the sunshine and walk around outside.

They had a lot of activities for the kids. The jumping thingy was Holly's favorite.

Steve complained that I picked a boring airplane for the background of this pic...

Here's our little doll, probably catching her first real rays of sunshine ever!

This airplane looks like it's in trouble but it's just taking a dramatic nose-dive with smoke for effect.

We saw some of these remote-controlled airplanes in action and they are spectacular!

Steve admired this little plane, then read the sign in front... turns out it's owned by D. Mischke!

A coop school trip to a creamery in the area...

A very appropriate spot for our little piglet's face... :)

This pic is out of place and a little odd. We took the kids to a party at Steve's work. Holly was absolutely terrified of this rabbit; I wish I had a picture of her face. She wouldn't go near him in the room.
