Spring Adventures

This spring has been filled with adventurous activity, at least by 2 and 4 year old standards.

While we were in Pennsylvania for Easter, we made a trip to the Tyler Arboretum, a favorite place of my childhood.

They currently have a series of tree houses spaced throughout the woods.

Jason loved the one that was built in the shape of a guitar with musical instruments on the walls inside.

Sophia was helpful with the ones that required climbing.

It was a joyful way to welcome in spring after a long winter.

Almost all of the house components are made from natural materials, including tunnel entrances.

We were glad Uncle James was able to take the day off work to spend it with us.

Our next spring adventure, was a return to the cold, with Sophia's first time on ice skates.

The Friends of Foster Care sponsored this wonderful event for foster families.

A new friend very patiently helped Sophia, until she was moving across the rink on her own.

Jason was not interested in trying on skates and much preferred to drive the Zamboni.

Also sponsored by the Friends of Foster Care, was a day at Furnace Brook Farm Therapeutic Riding.

We had gotten a photo of Sophia on top of a pony about three years ago, but this was the first time she really rode.

She also had an opportunity to feed and groom some horses.

I have always loved these gentle giants and it was wonderful to see my children interact with them.

On to more adventures!
