The weather was beautiful again this last Saturday and so in honor of the first day of spring we did lots of things outdoors. We did a bunch of work in the yard...and by we, I mainly mean Jeff and Christopher and Michael. They are good hard workers and they raked the leaves and cleaned out the flower beds and picked up all the garbage that somehow always blows into our yard. Now it looks all nice and presentable. Annie mainly played around a lot and I held the bags while they filled them up with leaves and garbage, so I guess we contributed a little bit too. Then we had lunch, yummy pizza from our local pizzaria across the street. We love this place and will miss it whenever we leave. Next we piled in the van and drove west to a state park in Hopatcong, NJ. There we just played ball, ate hot dogs and shot off some little water rockets Jeff bought for the kids. It was a real Family Fun day. After getting home and taking baths the kids were allowed to watch a movie. Annie, of course, conked out after about 5 minutes. Michael was the next to drift off to sleep, but grown up Christopher made it the whole way through. :) What a fun day we had! Happy Spring everyone.
