Spring Time Fun

 

The calendar said that Spring has arrived and for a few days, it was here.  The kiddo’s were so excited!  We grilled out, played on the play set, cleaned up the yard.  The rabbits even had their winter nails trimmed. 

Those kiddo’s sure have a great time swinging.  I challenged Shea to a swing-off.  It was fun and I “let her think” that she went much higher than me. I had not swung that high in a long time!

We also went to Shea’s school one night for the First Grade Music Program.  It was so cute.  They were all dressed up in their “Sunday best” and put on the cutest performance.  Here are some snap shots of Shea with some of her friends.

Shea played the Triangle during the performance.  She also had to sit front and center for the “Apple game”.  I’m not sure of the correct title.

For the first weekend of Spring Break we headed back to New Madison.  We had a nice visit with our families.  We took the kiddo’s and Grandma Pat to IHOP for brunch on Sunday. The kiddo’s had pancakes as big as their heads.  It was fun.  While we were at Grandma and Grandpa Huntington’s the kids and Daddy found two lonesome turtles.  Excited was an under statement.  They carried those turtles around all day!  Shea took excellent care of hers.  It was even holding her hand.  Following her while it walked around…  She was it’s Mom for the day.  Shea was so attached to it.  Will, on the other hand, did not under stand that we needed to be gentle with our new friend.  That poor turtle had a few dips, bumps and falls.  A few times I didn’t think it would survive.  Queue Gloria Gainer….  That turtle must have sang “I Will Survive” all day.

Meet Rose and Digger

Shea loved to put them in her pockets…

Digger is the one in hiding.

Dinner was approaching, time for the turtles to be returned to their natural habitat near the pond.  Digger took off IMMEDIATELY once he was placed into the water.  Poor guy, he put up with a lot.  Shea was sad for Rose to go but she understood it was best for her.  Maybe they will meet again.
