Maddie started getting sleepy for her morning nap so we decided to put her in the chariot and let her snooze in the great outdoors while we strolled around the neighborhood. It totally beats being stuck at home for however many hours she decides to sleep! Our neighborhood is very hilly and very awesome! It is quite woodsy, and most people have acre lots so the houses are not crammed together right on the road. Pretty much the exact opposite of our last neighborhood. Anyhow, it is officially spring, and as you can see most of the trees are getting their leaves. This happens all at once here. Literally all the trees are bare one day, and the next they have leaves. The surge of growth hypes up the sweet smell of spring (think flowers, meets forest, meets smell of rain, meets cut grass...pretty much the best smell you can imagine). And it is getting warmer! It pushed 60 today, and we got in every ounce of sunshine we could! Of course we had sunscreen :)
Chloe kept very occupied saying hello to every person who passed by, and picking every dandelion on our side of the road. Luckily there are only a few dandelions out so far. I imagine next week we wont make it past the end of the street while she gathers her bouquet! Today we made it more than 2.5 very hilly miles. Chloe walked the whole way! Amazing!
When we got home we had a picnic in the sun on our patio. Our grass is newly uncovered by snow, and itching to turn green! We even watered it today! We have also been doing a lot of watering and planting and hopefully we will get some photos of that soon too!
Hope your spring is amazing too!

Nice! No wonder you're in such great shape! I can't believe Chloe can walk that far. Tuesday can do a few blocks... At a very leisurely pace.
