two winter weekends at the havenwoods, and signs of spring!

Two winter weekends in a row, Havenwoods State Forest had lots of family activities going on, so we took the girls over to enjoy...
 
We went for a carriage ride pulled by these two beautiful horses. They were huge!


 
The girls with a police horse.


 
Loving the turtle she named Swimmy.


 
Kamele explored the different kinds of food small mammals like to eat. She insisted on taking a photo with each one.


The girls made lots of crafts:
 
Like painting raccoon faces on rocks.


 
 


 


 
The second weekend that we went, Alyssa was at the Kalahari. This is what happens when Emma is left to own creativity with outfit selection: Black leggings that have a lace trim by the ankle, usually paired with a skirt, but she opted for the pink Daisy Duke shorts instead. Top it off with a High School Musical tee that plays music and purple snow boots ~ the height of first grade fashion!


 
Emma's friend Jordyn came with us.


 
The girls fished in an indoor pond.


 
Caught one!


 
Hilarious fun as they played with animal puppets.


 


 
We were able to snowshoe...Rebekah lasted so much longer on these than I thought she would, it was really a lot of fun.


 
And have snowball fights! Making the best of chilly winter weather! Who would have known that the following week we would have weather in the 40s (which is pretty much tropical at this point) and by the following weekend the kids would all be outside riding scooters? Despite these snowy pictures, Spring is in the air and I can't wait!
