A Fun Spring Time Saturday

This weekend we finally got some sunny days and warmer temperatures around here... The Mrs. and I enjoyed a quiet morning on the deck sipping espresso while the babies slept.  Then as luck would have it one of Sarah's mommy friends was tooling around with her little one and we decided to make an impromptu play date/hike!

The babies were up to it, and off we went over to the Lowell Preserve right here in Windham.  We had intentions of heading to Bradbury, but by the time we got ourselves organized, that was out of the picture.  We enjoyed a leisurely hike on the still snow covered trails.  The babies ate snowballs and the mommies chatted.  It was a delightful way to get outside!

















We enjoyed a nice time on the playground after the hike.  The babies liked the chance to stretch their legs and we enjoyed watching them explore the wide open world around them.  Its been a real joy watching them master the mechanics of their bodies and the effect of gravity.  Every blade of grass, every puff of wind, every tweet from a bird is new and fascinating to them.  They look to us for reassurance and then toddle off to eat some more grass.  Its not snowboarding in New Zealand, but it is still a lot of fun!






Harbour was KILLING me with the snowballs.  Look close, she is still clutching one that I gave her way back up on the trail.

















Molly decided to snack on some wood chips she found in her pocket while swinging.  Foraging.










Big fun was had by all.... a wonderful wonderful day with my family and friends.
