Happy Earth Day!

I organized an Earth Day celebration for my holistic moms group on Friday at a local park.  The kids were on spring break so we had a great turnout despite the chilly weather.   In addition to having fun on the playground, we had a picnic and did some crafts.    (I also had an assignment for my photography class to convert images to black and white so here they are.)

I love this sweet little blue eyed blondie.  He\’s as sweet as he looks 🙂

I\’m sure you recognize this cutie.  He and Quinn had a great time playing tag and chasing each other around the playground.

The end of the day.  We were there about 4 hours and were worn out.  But the kids took turns being pulled around in our wagon.

Go Fly a Kite

We recently got a kite to take with us to St. John and I thought I would give it a spin today.  We had a mild to moderate wind and a bright sunny day.  It\’s been a while since I\’ve flown a kite — maybe 40 years? — and it wasn\’t quite like riding a bike.  I had to put the kite together and then know where to attach the string.  After many failed attempts I got it together and off we went.

It was alot more work than I anticipated but it was fun seeing the colorful kite fly high in the air with it\’s long tail.  

Then it was time to play on the playground.

Sunny Morning

We woke up to a bright sunny day and lots of beep-beep-beeping.  Our neighbor is getting their driveway dug up and repaved and the workers started bright and early.  Quinn and I watched them for a bit from the bedroom window before we went outside to investigate.  Q was pretty excited to see a backhoe and big dump trucks.  A little boy\’s dream 🙂

OK enough, time to go in.

I\’m happy to see that the dwarf weeping cherry tree that we planted last year survived the winter and is blooming.
