We have had some record temperatures and on this 90 degree day in April I took the kids to the pool to splash around and have fun.
Hot Day at the Pool

Oma Comes To Visit
Oma came to visit for a few days and we had a lot of fun with her. We had some nice warm spring days and we played in the yard. Oma ended up doing a lot of yard work with us while the kids were at school friday. Then we went strawberry picking since our season is early this year. It was even warm enough to go to the pool (they opened a month early!) We enjoyed the strawberries we picked the next day on waffles before planting our garden for the summer. The kids and Oma had a lot of fun in the garden and helping me plant a little ‘tester’ satellite garden by the fence. They had fun drawing with chalk out front too. Then in true Virgina fashion the weather swung and was cold and rainy for the rest of her stay. We jumped in puddles, played indoors, went to the library, used Daddy as a mode of transportation. On the last day we decided to take the kids to a trampoline park because everyone was getting cabin fever. Thanks for the good visit Oma!!
Easter
The kiddos had a fun time searching for eggs in our backyard and finding chocolate bunnies in the playhouse. They had just as much fun eating their candy too! We took a walk to check on the baby ducks the came home to a delicious easter lunch of corned beef and cabbage.
Sprinkler Time
It was a warm one this afternoon and after playing outside while Mommy and Daddy planted trees and worked in the garden these silly monkeys needs to cool off.
Brooke’s First 1K Race
Today was Brooke’s first running race! We had been practicing running the 1K distance around our neighborhood for about a month. Brooke has always been a good runner and it is something she really likes to do. She was very excited to run her own race and get her very own metal. After picking up her packet and bib we got ready at the start line. Brooke ran the entire 1K! She always stopped to walk once or twice during practice and I kept waiting for her to ask to walk but she kept powering on. She finished the race in 05:40 with a 09:07 min/mi pace! She did a great job and we are so proud of her. Way to go Brooke!
