Springtime on a Friday afternoon!

It's difficult to describe the thrill of a springtime afternoon after this winter we've just been through … but these pictures should demonstrate the happiness that was shared with these three beautiful grandchildren . . .
These boys really love to swing …
the higher, the better!
We climbed, we played basketball, we made chalk drawings, we played soccer, we saw horses, we hiked … take a look! 



Christopher beat me at a game of hoops … 10 to 6 … I was too pooped to play any further! 






 It's a little tricky to play a game of soccer when there are only FOUR people … but we did our very best anyway!
Soccer is the ONE sport Matthew really seems to enjoy. He is a fast runner and he enjoys kicking that soccer ball with all his might! 

Right across the street from the soccer field is a beautiful horse farm. We got as close to the horses as we could possibly get … but it wasn't really close enough! So we just crossed the street and went back to playing at the park.

What I love about Ada Park is that it is highly interactive. Children can really let loose, but they can also learn stuff . . .





This is a very cool digger apparatus,
isn't it?

 On the drive back to the Beach House, we noticed a new boardwalk … right where Pettis dumps into Fulton … so we naturally HAD to walk on it and try it out!

The Grand River

Yay! I am SO thankful it is spring. Children (and their granny) NEED to be outside where they can enjoy the beauty God has created!
