Sprinkler Dancing

Now who can resist a sprinkler on a hot June day?

Bike Lexington

Back at the end of May our family participated in Bike Lexington! I suppose you could say it's an annual 10 mile bike ride celebrating bike riding. Very fun and very family friendly. The highlight of the girls day was after the ride was over. Ellie watched the big kids getting wet in the fountain and sort of tiptoed around the fountain for a bit before jumping completely in. Julia was rather content to just watch - though she wanted to play soooo badly. We had an absolute BLAST.

Sunday Funday

One thing I can't believe I forgot to put on the blog is a picnic we took back in April. One particularly lovely Sunday afternoon, we thought it prudent to take our little fam on a spectacular picnic! Since it was windy we thought it would be fun to take our kite along, however it didn't want to cooperate and we deemed this kite a piece of junk that will go on our next garage sale tables. :)

Horsey Fun

The Spring weather has been beautiful the past few days. Yesterday we went to visit the horses (Julia's first time), ate our lunch in the back yard, and then ate our dinner out there too. I even felt so inclined to run and push the girls in the double jogger - and I got a little sunburn. Ah, the signs of warmer weather.

As mentioned, this was Julia's very first time to ever visit and feed the horses (which we call "horsey's"). This was old stuff for Ellie and she was pretty excited to head one block over and get to see her old pals again. Julia, on the other hand, was NOT too thrilled to be standing next to something that weighed as much as a car. After I fed him the apple pieces we brought with us - since no one else was brave enough to :) - Julia warmed up to the horse. Ellie handed her some grass which she shoved in his face and he ate! It was all over after that. She let me put her down and proceeded to run along side the fence, pointing at all the other horses, saying "nay nay," and even trying to get inside the fence. Ellie grew tired of the horses and began gathering grass and sticks to bring home with us as her treasure. Then we got the idea that since it was such a nice day, we would picnic outside. Since all parties were hungry, we left the horses behind and walked home for a nice picnic lunch in our back yard.









But today we have just been playin' and swinging and playin' and swinging. Ellie enjoys throwing her head back and watching the sky as she swings and Julia delights in swinging with her beloved baby. As I write this it is beginning to rain and shouldn't stop until sometime tomorrow (when we have an easter egg hunt scheduled, hmmm).

Happy Spring!

Get Outside!

For about a week and a half, we had some lovely weather up here that was perfect for spending the entire day outside. So for a few days, we did just that!
