Weekend Pictures

We took advantage of the spring weather to the fullest here this weekend. On Saturday we spent part of the afternoon flying kites. It wasn't very windy but it was still really fun for the kids. Carter chose a Spiderman kite (what else?) and has been begging to go back out today. I'm planning to keep the kites in the car and go out whenever we have a windy day.

Last night Al set up his little one man back packing tent. We couldn't believe how long it kept the kids entertained. Carter asked to sleep in it last night but he chickened out at the last minute. It takes up a lot of space in his room but he's having so much fun with it up that I think we'll let him keep it up for a couple more days.

Today we took our normal Sunday afternoon walk. The blossoms are bursting on the trees everywhere around us. One of my favorite smells in the whole world is blossoming apple trees. I had a tree right outside my bedroom window growing up and it reminds me so much of home. These trees here aren't very fragrant yet but they sure look pretty. It started to drizzle while we were out and we came home looking like drowned rats.
