Early Spring Hiking

It is early March and spring is approaching! On Monday the temperature was approaching 70 degrees and there was were delightful spring zephyrs in the air!

I took the kids for a walk at the nature preserve. Mary fell asleep in the car, so John and I had a picnic "just you and me" on a bench next to the car before waking Mary to put her on my back for a walk.

We ate under this tree.


I think this outdoor xylophone is a new addition--John really enjoyed it.

Visiting the toads

John was so cheerful and confident, running ahead of me full speed ahead. (Often he trips once, falls apart into wailing, "I just can't do it!" and then he can't be cheered, so we go home in sadness.)

I taught John how to play Poohsticks on the bridge.
