The kiddies and I spent this exceptionally warm Good Friday with friends, exploring the Jack Pine Trail in Stony Swamp. We met up with Christine, Monique, Jen and Jill and their families at the start of the trail in the Greenbelt. Everyone enjoyed the hike that took us just under two hours with just enough stops so that the kiddies could explore every inch of the trail...
We brought bird seed to feed the chickadees, and binoculars so that Miss S could look for "tarantulas"...she swears she saw one "on a flower" from the car window as we were driving to get to the trail.
It was at about this part of the day where I realized that Miss S had her pants on backwards. She has been very excited about getting herself dressed in the mornings lately {and today she did pretty good with the matching} so who notices details like the pants being on backwards...
The kiddies really loved the boardwalk areas...
We discovered the best tree for climbing ever. It was just like a ladder...
After our hike, we all headed over to Christine's for a picnic lunch and some play time in their back yard.
K spent the day at home installing flooring in our basement {we are developing it into a TV/play room}. He finished up in time to play street hockey outside with R before dinner, while Miss S went in the kiddie pool with some of the neighborhood girls. Can you believe swimming outside in April? I cannot get over how hot it was already today - it is going to be a long, hot summer!
