The Great Outdoors

We, like most Ohioans, spent the past couple of days outdoors and enjoying the weather.

What a great feeling!!

It's always nice to get a taste of Spring to keep us looking forward to the days that lie ahead.

Most of my chores were thrown to the side this weekend. A person needs to break free every once in a while when a good opportunity arises.

I even broke in my new running shoes today. I ran a mile while pushing Tyler in the jogging stroller and I didn't stop! I was pretty proud of myself. I'm feeling sore already, but it's not necessarily a bad thing.
I found the sunshine and warmth to be very motivating.

Here are a few pics of us playing outside this weekend.
These were taken at a local park Saturday evening. It was a bit muddy, but we put the kids in some old play clothes and off we went!




 
 
 This is Lauren's favorite way of going down a slide.



 
 
 
We spent this afternoon at the Holmes County Trail. Hubs rode his bike while pulling Lauren along in a little carrier, Turner rode his scooter, and I ran behind them while pushing Tyler in the stroller. When we finished up on the trail, we played on the jungle gym for a bit.
 
This is the face Lauren made when I told her to smile for the picture.

Turner scaled the rock wall like Spiderman...

so of course, Little Sis had to give it a try. She made it too!

I even made Hubs pose for a picture today.
 
 
Here I am working on my upper body strength by helping the kids do the monkey bars. We did this over and over and over again.



And here is Lauren going down the slide like it's a water slide. Hubs and I underestimated it's speed. She launched off of that thing like she was shot out of a cannon. Needless to say, she went down chaperoned after that. Still a great pic though. It makes me laugh.

 
After our fun at the trail today, we went out for ice cream. I'm pretty sure I not only canceled out the calories burned at the park, but I added a few as well.
 
Meh.
 
You'll have that.
 
I hope you were able to get out and enjoy some sunshine this weekend too!
