LOVE spring!!!

I love when spring comes around. There are so many fun activites around town. So facebook and MOPS groups are great to be apart of, when you can't get together when your child is sick. Then you can stay in the loop of area events in town. I found one event that is state wide. They call it Unplug and be Outside Week. It's basically, unplug that t.v and get your butt in gear to enjoy things outside. So area schools and business' have donated their time and materials for many free projects to do around town each day during the week. Sometimes there are four things going on during the day, all day. Yesturday, I brought heidi out for a walk which was more like over 7 miles I had in mind. So I packed a lunch and a busy bag for Heidi to stay entertained in her Schwinn trailer I push along on my walks or runs. It's about 2 1/2 miles to get to the river in town and along the way there are parks and other stops for her to get out to stretch and play. When we finally made it to the river which is located by the downtown area, we went to our local parks and rec center to pick up a list they have for everyone. It's a Scavenger Hunt list which is part of the Unplug program going on this week. Heidi had so much fun. What a great idea and fun for her to learn some nature materials. After our scavenger hunt we sat to eat some lunch and fed the geese and ducks. We even found some baby geese and then Heidi just wanted to feed them the food. If the bigger geese got in the way, Heidi would say "go away geese, no, get away. Baby's food!"   What a great afternoon. By the time it was on our way to get home, Heidi jumped in the Schwinn and passed out tired. So it was a nice straight shot home. 
              This afternoon when Heidi's nap is over. We are heading to the park for a birhouse making project. It sounds fun and Heidi sure loves feeding the birds in our yard. We can only stay an hour for that, then it's off to free swimming at the aquatic center in town until 8pm. Somewhere in there we have to eat, so I think it's a drive through moment and while on our way to the pool. Heidi has been so excited to go swimming. All day she has been asking me and I beleive this has been the longest morning and mid afternoon for her! We even bought new dora slippers for when she goes to a pool. Speaking of all this, I better get going and get her up from her nap to go make birdhouse's and then get something to eat. FUN FUN FUN!
