springtime at the arboretum

so these pictures are nearly 2 weeks behind, so i'm catching up nicely (the last few posts have been more like a month behind...). we spent a morning at the arboretum and LOVED the tulips and daffodils, rolling down the GREEN grassy hills, and playing with friends. it was a little brisk, but not too cold, so it made for a perfect day to visit. we're hope to get back again soon to enjoy the tulips again before they're all gone.

free face-painting, one of afton's all-time favorite things! though no one else wanted it this time.


this is how we pose three kids for pictures together ;)

there was also a little petting zoo the day we went. goats, bunnies, sheep, chicks, and a bovine of some sort...

again, three kids don't pose well together, but i LOVE this pic just the same!

they just added some new fairy-tale castles/etc for the kids to play with. this is from the little mermaid. i'm sure i have a link somewhere on my blog from last year where i could link you to last years, if you're curious to see some of what they have here let me know and i'll find it for you :)

LOVE this one of rayna too

i mentioned hill-rolling right? they did that a lot that day!


on the move!

and just one more of malachi :) he's such a good boy!

That arboretum looks like a fun place to play. Sophie would like the face painting until she realized she had to sit still. :)

The grass looks so green and happy. How great that you and your kids have such a neat place to play. I really like the picture of Afton and Rayna on the grass too.
