After a couple warm days, Mom tells us to come outside and do some yard work. We always do the front first, because it is seen from the road.
Our full wheelbarrow waiting for someone to come and empty it.
Kind of blurry, but Ellia took a cattail and waved it around the yard, creating a snow-like atmosphere. It was beautiful.
Another thing we do once it is warm out (and even if it isn't) is to go to a provincial park near us, Rondeau. We will often convince our cousins to come with us, and sometimes take a picnic lunch. So, last Monday, we did.
The kids playing at the park. We normally play Grounders or Sandman.
All the mothers eating lunch. Us kids had already eaten, but they were still sitting and talking.
After lunch and playing for a while, we began walking in the campground, choosing our spots for camping. Mom said that I should put this picture on because there is lots of action in it. It is amazing the things that you capture when you take a picture! I've looked over it three times and am yet finding new things in it. (Hint: Look in the left-hand corner. My little cousin is taking a fighting stance.)
The rest of these pictures were taken yesterday.
Joel wearing ear muffs
Alicia wearing the same ear muffs ten minutes later
Ellia laying in the grass
Moriah was shooting some hoops!
Spring is truly on its way! Our grass is getting greener, our indoor plants (namely kale and arugula lettuce) are growing taller, and the days are getting longer. It makes me so excited for camping season and doing school outside, and mostly, just being outside and enjoying the fine weather.
But, even though I like the warm weather, "April showers bring May flowers."
(And I love May flowers!)
