This place seems vaguely familiar . . .

The weather has been miserable since . . . well, I can't remember when the weather was nice. But this weekend? This weekend has been positively balmy! We walked to a nearby park to enjoy this unexpected good fortune. Once there, we marveled at how our kids have grown over the winter. Cameron whizzed down the fireman's pole like an old pro. Matthew appeared to be trying to recall what this place was. That bright yellow ball up above, the small people running about, the chirping creatures on those tall brown sticks . . . it's been a while since we got to play outside when it wasn't snowing. Setting aside his apprehension, he approached a play structure, quickly clambered up the stairs, sat down at the top of the slide and, natural that he is, yelled, "Ready, set, GO!" He launched himself down, promptly turned around and attempted to climb back up. I think it's going to be a fun spring with these two!

Spring and summer will be a blast year! Sadly, our weekend in Michigan consisted of rain, rain, and then more rain.
