Spring stirrings

Yesterday, it finally started to feel like spring around here, and I'm hoping it plans to stick around. We made the most of the fabulous weather by staying outside pretty much all day. Matt even squeezed in some yard work during B's nap, but most of the day was all about fun stuff.

After church, we headed to the botanical gardens, where it was opening weekend for the children's garden.

  

In between climbing over every inch of the tree house, we planted a spinach plant, colored dried gourds, and met the resident fox family.

Not to mention practiced our balance-beam skills

And no trip to the gardens is complete without a visit to the sheep. B LOVES these sheep, especially the little ones.

After his nap, B played out in the yard with Matt while I took care of a little house cleaning, and then he and I headed to the park while Matt grilled dinner.

We came home to fajitas and margaritas (B missed out on those), a perfect end to a great day.
