Spring has Sprung*

Ahh, spring. Lovely spring! Buds are opening, pale colors are appearing and the first blush of blooms are beginning to show on the bushes and trees. We are so thankful to be living in our apartment complex where there is an abundance of greenery and flowers. Last year in the spring we were waiting for Christin to be born and weren't even in our city. When we finally moved, it was almost the end of June and spring was long gone. So this spring we are really enjoying the beautiful sights and colors!

Last weekend we took the family out to the lake that is in the center of our city. It was a lovely day and there were lots of folks out and about enjoying the spring weather. Here are a few photos of our day.

Sister fun!

Chloe made a friend.

The highlight for the girls was riding the carousel at the park around the lake. (It's actually a pretty chintzy carousel, but don't tell the girls, they think it's great!)

Fun times were had by all! Welcome Spring!

**I wrote this post after a lovely day out this past weekend. However, winter had a few last tricks to play on us...we woke up this morning to a cold rain that changed to snow mid-morning! SNOW! We never get snow! Thankfully it didn't stick around and the afternoon warmed up again; I hope now we're finally done with winter for good!
