A hiking we will go

by Heather | 0 comments

My birthday was Sunday (yay!) so we headed to Ontario County State Park in Naples for some hiking, picnicing and geocaching. Ben loved looking for all the little geocaching treasures and filled his pockets up with chestnuts and acorns along the way. I found them in the bottom of the washer the next day ;-) The park was really nice, hardly anyone was there. Lots of easy trails for Ben, gorgeous look outs and a really nice playground and picnic area. I had an impromptu photo shoot with the kiddos too (warning, there may be way too many in this post). We had a great time and it made for a perfect birthday afternoon.

Little bit of spring

by Heather | 0 comments

It’s snowing now, but this past weekend was beautiful. We saw temps in the 70s and 80s and you can bet we were outside for most of it! I started Saturday with a run from the Y and then I took the kids to our town’s Easter Egg hunt. I loved how they split kids up into age groups and had them on different baseball fields at the school, so Ben was only hunting with other 3 & 4 year olds. There was one golden egg that could be turned in for a special prize and Ben spent the entire time looking for JUST that egg. Seriously he passed up every other egg he walked over because he was so focused on finding that golden one (he never did). He did pick up a cute baseball egg along the way though. I brought my camera but had left the SD card in my computer, so no pictures :( Andy was in a boater safety course all day Saturday so he didn’t really get to enjoy the nice weather.

Sunday the weather was even warmer. Cassidy and I sat outside on a blanket while Ben bummed around in his powerwheels (another dump find).

This is the first year he’s really been able to reach the pedals and drive himself around the yard. He was pretty terrible at it at first (running into trees and narrowly avoiding the blanket his sister was on) but did get better.

He felt super cool with daddy’s ear protection :)

Ben asked where Cassidy’s pants were when I brought her outside.

She loved watching him zip by in his truck.

However, she did NOT like the feel of grass when she reached the edge of the blanket!

I’d actually been able to do a little yard work while the kids had napped, so I watched the kids while Andy worked on one of his projects…a potato bin to accompany our garden this year.

I’m a baby

Ben asked if he could hold Cassidy. He then proceeded to wave her arms up and down and say in a silly voice “I’m Cassidy, I’m a baby. Wah, wah baby.” Then he gave her a big hug. Love these two <3 IMG_2373sm

Snow snow go away

Ben and Andy play in what is (hopefully) the last major snow of the year. This winter has been relentless, but at least this time it was actually warm enough to go outside and play!
