Summer in March!

With temperatures in the 70's in mid-March, who wouldn't be confused this is Western New York??? It's been awesome! So awesome that last week on the spur of the moment I decided to secretly pack everyone a picnic lunch. We were headed out back- way out back on the hill for a picnic! Forget school for the rest of the day, we were off to have some fun and enjoy this most wonderful gift God has been giving us! Enjoy along with us!

Don't think I've ever hung laundry out in March before...

Enjoying lunch way on top of the hills out back



After lunch, it was time to go exploring in the woods

Making a tepee

Dirt sledding!


Climbing a tree stand to see the view


Wonder what creature lives way up in this big nest

Time for a break!


Micah's tadpoles he caught

A milkweed plant

The girls soaking up some vitamin D!


Back at the house for a late afternoon campfire & eventually, dinner!


And what summer, err, I mean Spring, would be complete without baby chicks?! We got 6 Delaware and 6 Rhode Island Reds. They are growing so quickly right before our eyes. While our children are growing quickly, I'm sure glad they don't grow as fast as these little girls do!!!



Umm, guess these two are enjoying the spring weather too! :o) 

The Delaware babies enjoying their new home!

A Rhode Island Red baby- 2 days old


The kids love dirt sledding! To see more go to http://createshareandcare.blogspot.com/
