A Perfect Spring Day

We woke to beautiful clear skies and warm temperatures today and decided to take advantage of it.

We spent a little bit of time visiting garage sales in our neighborhood this morning then we came home and opened the windows and the door to the deck and freely moved from the inside to the outside and back again.

Allyson is infatuated with dandelions. Unfortunately, despite my efforts to control them, we have quite a few dandelions in our yard. Ally cannot understand why I would want to kill them! While she picked dandelions, Natalie looked on from the doorway. It was the most peaceful that Natalie has been for a long time. She loves looking outside!

The fresh air this morning must have done the trick to tire the girls out because they both took good long naps this afternoon. While they were napping I was able to take a long bike ride that was just glorious!

When everyone was awake again, we headed out to pick up some food to bring to the park. We ate under a picnic pavilion this evening and then had some fun playing on the playground.

It was a great day together as a family.

Great pictures and of course the girls are just plain cute. The trees in your area are beautiful. Here too, everything is in bloom and the flowering trees are super.
