Spring At Last

Finally, the girls and I celebrated our first real Spring day. We went to the park for over 3 hours. We played in the sand, climbed on the playground and slid down the slides. La Nina was distraught over the lack of swings, but I was not. We ended our park morning with a picnic of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, grapes, juice and cheese. Even better was when the girls chose to take concurrent naps on the way home.

After they woke up from naps, we went in front of the house and painted the sidewalks with water, colored with chalk and blew bubbles. The neighbor across the street joined in the fun and brought popsicles. We didn't come in the house until it was time to make dinner.

It felt so good to spend the day outdoors. All of us were tired tonight, but it was a good kind of tired. Happy Spring! Let's hope it is here to stay.
