Welcome Spring!

Spring has come!  The last month we have had wonderful spring weather, the sun is shining and the tulips are blooming!

With the thawing of spring, we've taken back to outside projects and ventures.  We've been taking daily walks from our house to my folks which is a nice jaunt and great chance to see the neighborhood. Aria, of course, loves our morning walks.  Cassie doesn't get to go everyday because her old dog bones can't handle 5k a day.  She makes it about once a week which is enough to keep her moving and she has recovered well from her sore eye last month.  We've even seen some deer on our way feasting in neighbor's yards.

The lake is in lovely spring form and we have enjoyed some boating, fishing, and picnicking in the park.  

First day back on the lake

The dogs are thrilled with more frequent trips to the lake and boat rides as well.  

Aria still has to be on a leash in the boat, because she constantly wants to jump out

Brandy loves boat rides

Swimming at the lake

Spring really doesn't get any better than days like this!

Easter was lovely this year.  We hosted my folks and several of our close friends for a wonderful Easter dinner filled with tons of delicious food, sparkling laughter, delightful conversation, and the weather was absolutely perfect!
