Ah, Spring...

Finally, it's here! We've spent most of the week outside enjoying the beautiful weather that has finally made it's way here. This morning after breakfast, it was a trip to our favorite woods for a good long hike.

Soon after we got there we spotted this friendly family stopping for a cool drink...

The girls enjoyed making fairy boats out of leaves and acorn caps, then floating them down the river in case a fairy should need a ride across...

Then we had fun searching for shells along the river bank. There were some cool finds.

The only bad part of the hike was when I heard this conversation: "Hey look at this!" and then... "Put that down- it's dog poop!" Yuck. Luckily, there was a place nearby to wash our hands.

Otherwise, a perfect spring day!

In other news, our caterpillars have been getting big and fat and yesterday we noticed they were all hanging from the top of the jar. By this morning, they had all spun cocoons. So it's time to move them to a bigger place before they emerge as beautiful butterflies. Can't wait...
