Springtime Fun and Easter

With the weather warming up, you can't help but get outside and enjoy the warm sunshine. So that is what we did last week on Thursday. I packed Carson in the backpack, packed a picnic lunch, and headed out the door with the dog. We hiked around in "the wild" as what Kelli calls it. There are a lot a trails by my house which make it fun for exploration and exercise. Anyway, so we hiked around on a trail, sat down in the trees and had a picnic lunch.

Easter came and my kids loved every minute of it. We started out letting the kids check out what was in their Easter baskets. In the afternoon, we had a BBQ and then we went back out in "the wild" to search for eggs which I hid a little earlier. And of course they loved looking for their eggs.

Here they are headed out to the secret hiding spot.

Finding the eggs.

Oh and just a little side note, look at what we have found in "the wild" by my house.

It seems quite tame which I'm sure you can tell by how close I got to it and I wonder what on earth is a pheasant doing up here!
