our spring afternoon

What a glorious spring day we had today!
We found ourselves (yes, ALL four kids and me),
outside for the entire afternoon.

They did this with zero persuasion.
I wasn't sure whether to question their motives,
or shout, Hallelujah!

I chose the latter.

We did everything under the sun (literally)
and had a complete blast doing it.

Come on, I'll show you...

Brenden spent some time playing with Zeke.

Which quickly turned to a tumbling move.

Which led to doing it on concrete.
Because that's just the kind of man he is.

Yes, he had an outfit change...he didn't want to get his golf clothes dirty.

We did some hard-core swinging.

And about mid-way through our day,
the meadow next to our house was beckoning us to frolic.


Yes, I frolicked.

Oh how I did frolic.

Nick absolutely could not stand that I was having
such fun and simply HAD to do his
share of frolicking as well.

Oh how he did frolic.

A sunny afternoon wouldn't be complete
for Nick without some golf.

Which led to him wanting to compare the size
of his driver to Lucy's head.

Then, shy little Macy got in on the golfing action.

Because it's just so darn fun.

Then of course we had to shoot a few hoops.

And just as we were ending our fun afternoon,
we noticed our neighbors approaching
on their equestrian transportation.
I told you we lived in the country.

It doesn't get much more American than
this, folks.

Lucy is totally enamored by these horses
but refused to go for a ride.
Petting them was good enough for this little filly.

Bye bye for now!
Hope ya'll had a super day as well!
