Let's Go Outside!

It has still been pretty chilly for Spring, but we enjoyed some parks near my parents house. Our first stop was to The Jay Farm.

The girls were fascinated with this drinking fountain attached to an old fashion pump that one of them had to work in order for anyone to get a drink. They would have played with this all day if it was any warmer.

This long-time family run farm is now a great park for hiking, tromping through the woods, and visiting the creek that runs through. It's nice! After what has felt like a long winter spent indoors it was so nice to get out into the sunshine and soak up some vitamin D.

We took a quick break for an ice cream snack and then headed out to our second park of the day.

These merry-go-rounds are not too common anymore. I can at least sort of understand why. I remember having fun on them when I was little, but watching the girls whip crazy circles around on this thing was like watching an accident waiting to happen.

It was not quite warm enough for the girls to be barefoot with their leggings rolled up like this so they could wade into the water, but they did it anyway. Rebekah kept asking if she could go swimming.

And because I don't think I have ever posted of this little guy here...this is my parents' dog, Gus. He is very sweet.
