Looking back...

These are pictures and stories from a week ago, I'm just a bit behind I guess.

Hannah went to Brownie camp and it was a beautiful, sunny weekend. It's been a really long, REALLY snowy winter and so I guess the sun coming out made me prematurely excited for spring. When Mom & Erika suggested a walk around Mom's block, I decided to make it a little more interesting and suggested Toogood Pond where there are paths and boardwalks and Jack & Bennett could run along and we could all enjoy the nice weather. I do always try to fit too much in and I had to pick up Hannah from Brownie camp about one hour later, but thought the walk would be good for everyone...including Charlotte in her stroller. Mom & Erika had a really great sense of humour about it (luckily) when I had to leave them stranded in a snowbank (again) to run pick up Hannah with Jack bleeding from climbing a frozen tree in winter boots! I don't know how long they stayed, it was a long walk back around the pond and there was ice & snow covering everything and not a bare path to push a stroller anywhere! Whose crazy idea was this?

When I did pick Hannah up, I was greeted this way!!

I remember Brownie camp when I was Hannah's age, but I don't ever remember going in the winter!! Those girls (and some of their Moms) are pretty tough!

Anyway, the weather seems to be turning, rain and above 0 temperatures today but still mountains of snow everywhere! Eri & I had a much more spring-like walk with Henry, Bennett & Charlotte at the zoo today. Lots of puddles, but no one got stuck or hurt...the sign of a good day!
