i'm starting to like this town again




The nice weather continues! It got better, actually. It was up in the 70's today. Kestrel had the day off of school, so while Cooper was in school we had a nice time at Meadowbrook Park. This park has a preserved prairie (though not much is growing on it yet, as you can see) with a path for walking/biking, etc. that circles around it for a about a mile, with various sculptures along the way. We brought Kestrel's scooter and she rode the path while I walked. Kestrel was excited at seeing a pheasant along the way, and kept talking about how much she loves nature. These pictures were taken on my phone which is why they're a little fuzzy. Kestrel took the prairie picture.

After we picked up Cooper we met our playgroup at another park and spent a couple of hours there, until we came home and the kids spent the next few hours outside. I could really get used to this! Unfortunately I think we only have one more day of this before the temperature drops again. But now we know what we are looking forward to!

Oh! It's a rabbit sculpture. I kept waiting to hear about the part when you went to the zoo & Kestrel rode the elephant : )
It looks like you had a great day.
