The 1st signs of Spring






On Saturday the 12th of April....we had some wonderful weather. The sun came out and things warmed up to the late teens...a little warmer in-land. So we had a day of working on the yard. We want to put in a garden on the west side of the house, but before we could do that we needed to clean up the scattered brinks all over the place. Some we were half buried in the ground, so they needed to be dug up. Well the few that we saw in the ground turned out to be an oddly place brick patio that was then covered with dirt and grass. So what was suppose to be a few bricks turned into about 200 bricks. So after all that hard work, we thought that we deserved some fun. What we decided to do was get a picnic supper and take it down to Crescent Beach and enjoy the setting sun on a beautiful sunny spring day. This was Macie's 1st real trip to the beach. Last year we only ended up going once due to the move and she was too little to really enjoy it, but this year she will. In fact, she had a blast playing in the water and with the rocks and chasing the dogs that were there.....And of course the rest of the kids love the beach. Addie and Belle are the water babies and have always loved the beach. Nathaniel took a little while to like it....he didn't like the slimmy green rocks or the seaweed everywhere. But that doesn't seam to be a problem now. Looks like summer will be at the beach.
