Ushering in Spring

Spring is coming to IL a time for puddle boots, rain coats, getting back outside, and mud.

Below are my three cuties enjoying a spring walk! This spring we were blessed by a trip to Nashville to see Aunt Teen and explore the city. Grandma drove all the way down from NY and then drove us to TN. It was a great week! We went to the Science Museum where we explored Adventure Tower, the human body, and went on a space walk.

We also spent a wonderful day at the Nashville Zoo. They have an awsome playground that the kids loved. There was a giraffe there that followed us around and wanted to have his photo taken. We saw elephants and meerkats. The meercat enclosure has a bubble that you can climb into and be face to face with one of the cute little creatures. It was a lot of walking but it was GREAT to get out in the fresh air and move our stiff winter bodies. Our day at the zoo was a bit chilly but we were just glad that it was not snowing :).

We also found a great indoor playground that occupied the kids for several hours on a rainy day. I really wish we had one of these close by.

Since we have gotten home we have had many play dates and enjoyed spending time with dear friends. We have a busy week coming up with dentist appointments, play dates and general fun times. We found out yesterday that sweet Miss Allison needs her tonsils and adenoids out so that will be another adventure for our family.

While we experience the adventure of spring weather, one day warm the next day snow. The adventure of spring health fresh air cleaning out our lungs and bringing stuffy noses and ear infections. Mama will stive to live each day striving to do good to one another, rejoicing always, praying without ceasing, and giving thanks in all circumstances. (1 Thes 5:15 - 18)
