Spring Is Here, For a While

Living in Central Ohio you never know what the weather will be like from day to day. Heck, you can have the heat and the AC on in the same day around here. It was a long, cold winter. Right now we are having an early Spring and loving it! Temps have been in the 50's and 60's and the kids are loving being able to play outside. Heck, we adults are too. This weekend we took full advantage. It's cool in the mornings so we worked inside. In the afternoon, we played outside. On Saturday, I cleaned out my front flower bed. Shea played. Will took a nap. Shawn started a fire in the pit. He had winter debris to burn. Shea just loves watching the fire. First thing she always asks for is, "can we eat over the fire"? Lucky for her, I had laid out hamburgers and we did just that, grilled over the fire. YUMM!!! We did red smokey's, hamburgers and of course, S'mores!! I did do some healthy roasted veggies too.


Shawn and Shea were running around the yard playing hide-n-seek and tag. Shawn thought it was funny to run up the tree while playing tag. No fear, Shea climbed after him.

In the tree!

This is Shea sitting in her chair, eating the dinner that Daddy make over the fire. She loves it!



Mid-afternoon Will woke up to something new. A fire in the pit? Hunh? I've never seen this before. Can you tell by the look on his face?

Wednesday it was so nice out that I decided the kids needed to make the inaugural trip to the zoo for the Spring. What a great day we had. The animals were loving the weather too. The Flamingo's and Kangaroo's who both normally just stand there were having a ball. Shea thoroughly enjoyed every animal and walking around the zoo. Will did great, but, he was more into trying to destroy his stroller seat than looking at the animals. We were all tired by the end of the trip but can not wait to go back. We love our zoo pass!

We hope that you are out enjoying this spectacular Spring weather. Our wish is for a long Spring. I hope that comes true. Maybe that should be Shea or I's birthday wish!
