Spring!

/ heartmomma / 6 Comments

Yesterday, we took our first walk of 2010!

It included poking things with a stick:

and chasing some ducks:

and finding ways to test out our rubber boots:

and a certain little girl tripped and skinned up her hands (no picture),

and a certain little boy just took it all in:

and bikes were ridden:

We had a lovely time welcoming Spring!
