A Breath of (Much Needed) Fresh Air

We finally got our break from winter and we took full advantage!  Thursday and Friday were the most beautiful days we've had since probably before Thanksgiving, and Avery seemed to know exactly what that meant for her.  As soon as she woke up from her afternoon nap both days she ran straight for her shoes and socks, acted like she was going to put them on, brought them to me to actually have them put on, then ran to the backdoor saying "Ow?" (out!)  Thursday our main activity was gathering rocks from the rock garden and carrying them over to the bench.  Friday was spent as some quality time with the dogs, chasing Bentley with the plastic ball thrower thing and following Bo out to areas of the yard that should have been made off limits by Mommy.  We almost stepped in a couple of landmines, but thankfully she has small feet. 

Thursday was a bit cooler than Friday, so she still needed a jacket.  The Friday pics are of her just in the t-shirt.



Busy gathering her rocks.

Here we are examining our weapon of choice.

 What you don't see in this picture is Bentley about to take one on the noggin from our beautiful little girl.

Practicing for senior pictures.

 Tired after playing so hard. (Please disregard the stains on the pants; I think it was from a milkshake possibly.)

So happy to finally be outside again.

Now all we have to do is wait for the snow to come in the next few days again.  Good grief!  Maybe the groundhog will tell us that spring is almost here.  Here's hoping...
