More Signs of Spring!

The girls had another class at Tyler Arboretum this morning, so Liam, Molly and I walked around looking for more signs of spring. We found lots of different flowers and buds, as well as noticing several different birds at one of feeders! Unfortunately, I forgot to note some of the plant names when we were walking, so I will have to go back and figure them out next week on our nature walk. Here are some more signs of spring, though...hope they make you happy like they make us happy!

Lovin' Being Outside!



We are just so happy to be able to go outside to play!

Spring!

We were able to get out this morning to take our tree walk and check on the trees that we have been following for the past year. It was amazing to see signs of spring and to be outside in the warm (!!!) sun! I love spring!
