A Little Bit Of Spring to Brighten The Winter

The zoo has had a garden show in late February/early March for the last few years. We couldn't go last year because we were in New Orleans. This year, Nick and I went to check it out on a cold Friday while Ben was in school. It was pretty cool! Several area garden centers and florists had created gardens depicting fairy tales. Nick like 2,000 Leagues under the Sea's submarine. I just liked all the colors and flowers and wonderful spring smell!

The Anello Hill Sledding Invitational

What better place to sled than on a hill on the river!! It was pretty warm (like 30 degrees warmer than the average for the entire month of February), so it was perfect sledding weather. Adam and the kids had lots and lots of fun. At least until they broke a sled and decided to call it a day. All the kids walked up the hill without issue, there was zero whining or complaining and everyone had a great time! 

The 4 Year Old Birthday Boy!

And then Nick turned 4! It's a little bit sad, but he was SOOOOOO excited that he was finally 4! We talked him into BW3s instead of McDonalds for dinner. Then we came home and had train cupcakes. He also took train cupcakes into school for snack. He got a Tickle Monster book and a scooter for his birthday. So excited!
