We had another good morning of work, but I could tell everyone was just waiting to get outside. We finished up then headed out after lunch. We spent 3-4 hours enjoying the sunshine this afternoon. It was till cool and breezy, but the sun was warm and wonderful.
Rachel and Gabe rode their bikes around and around. A friend had given us a small bike with training wheels and Hannah gave that a try, but the seat was too high. Brian lowered that when he came home. She will be all set now.
Gabe gave Gracie some much needed exercise today and ran around the yard with her. She had so much funny. At one point Gabe tied her to the tricycle and then had me call her. She pulled him easy as could be going like mad. Gabe laughed and laughed and Gracie looked like she enjoyed it too!They have always been best buds. We got Gracie right after Gabe's 2nd birthday and they have grown up together. Gabe can wrestle with her and pull her and tackle her and she just licks his face. If any of the other little guys tried this, she would give them a soft growl and move away. She is very tolerant of Gabe. Don't they both look so happy to be together?
Snack time at the picnic table
By the end of the afternoon, Dan was pooped. The Littles still tire quicker than Gabe or Bessie. I think their little bodies are still recovering. Dan just plopped down against the tree and made a little pile of rocks. He was so cute.
I brought out my stitching, but didn't get any done. The girls played with my hair and they had fun coming up with different doos. I looked through the science catalog and decided what to order and worked on a Bible study.
We had baked chicken, noodles and green beans for dinner.
It was a great day and so nice to finally feel the sun and enjoy some warmer air.

Glad the sun has finally broken out from the clouds! Looks like things are starting to dry up around your area.
LOL, we have an old photo of Trevor with our dog. He'd tied Lucky's leash to the handle of the wagon and was trying to get the poor dog to PULL. It was rather like The Grinch's poor little dog trying to pull that giant sleigh. :)
I love the times like this when you can enjoy the spring weather in between the last efforts of winter.
That's look like a wonderful day! I love that picture of Gabe and the dog.
Yay! A sun sighting!!! Looks like a perfectly wonderful day. I envy your big yard. LOL
