Spring?

Last year we had snow in May so the gorgeous weather this week was such a treat and feels like an incredibly early spring. Who knows if it will stick around, but we enjoyed it as much as we could while we had the opportunity!

The heatwave started over the weekend and while it wasn't super warm yet, it was nice enough to enjoy some outside time! And Dax was thrilled to try out his new snowman kit.

 

We had a playdate with Isaac Monday and walked to a park near our house. We have sure missed the playground!

Then, our family enjoyed the weather Tuesday after dinner. We took a walk to another playground. (While we didn't take any photos on the walk or at the park, we had a funny family selfie photo shoot soaking up a few extra minutes of the glorious air before retreating back inside for bedtime!)

Addy and I ventured out on our own Wednesday while Dax was at daycare, plus we spotted some deer enjoying the spring weather, too! Then we had another family walk in the evening - how could we not when it was SO beautiful?!

Then, Thursday was a little cooler again but we still played and played and played - while Addy was napping, when she woke up, when they both woke up from afternoon naps... We couldn't get enough fresh air! Dax loved exploring the yard again and trying out his new trike (bad mommy forgot about his helmet while he tried it out on the driveway, but be assured he wore one when we went on a walk/trike ride later).

The nice weather continued into Friday so we went to the zoo! Dax called Grandpa Phil on Thursday and invited him to join us. Grandma Caren came along and watched Addy so we didn't have to work around her naps/eating. It was great to visit some of the outdoor animals that we have not seen since last fall! In the afternoon, Grandpa Mick and Uncle Sam came over for some more outdoor fun!

It's the weekend again and we are still riding out the sunshine and mild temperatures. We had swimming lessons and played games with Gma Amy this morning, but enjoyed another walk to the playground this afternoon. Addy played with sand for the first time and Dax built a restaurant, sent Daddy to jail, put out some imaginary fires, & was completely in his element.

Cooler weather is bound to return before the season is over and soon it will be hot again, but for now, we are loving everything.
