Spring is unofficially here and we took advantage of our first beautiful Saturday by spending the day outdoors at the arboretum. Our first stop was on the bridge overlooking the pond full of big and colorful koi fish.
Next we headed to the little replica structures that made up a mini Texas town. The kids especially loved this fort-like house.
Inside were baskets and little tin bowls and cans that kept the kids as busy as bees. They cooked and cooked using little rocks and pebbles they found as play food.
Madison's favorite was the little red school house. She made a perfect little school girl and was being sweet as ever as she flipped through the book.
A larger pioneer house had all sorts of exciting old cookware. The old tin teapot was especially interesting as they have become more and more fond of having tea parties with their dolls and stuffed animals lately.
Madison swings her legs as she sits on the perfect toddler-sized bench on the front porch.
Snack time! The kids all sit cooperatively together on a little bench to take a break and eat a snack. It's always important to incorporate snack time at home and on outings to help make everyone happy and less prone to meltdowns!
Sooners in training!
Daddy and Payson playing chase in the grass. It didn't take long for the girls to join in the fun!
It was extremely difficult getting a picture of our three active 2-year-olds all together until they came upon twin newborns having their pictures taken. The triplets were frozen in time as they observed the precious babies.
Grandma was there for the fun and we all enjoyed a picnic together in the park.
After lunch, the kids found entertainment by watching a squirrel eat his lunch. But as they got to close he darted into the bushes. The kids then used their sticks to attempt to lure him out of the bushes. It worked but he went the opposite way!
Mommy and Grandma enjoying the bright yellow daffodils.
Check out Madison's expression as she intensely smells the flower. Smelling flowers is hard work for a toddler!
We finished the morning by playing in the water before heading home for naps. What a beautiful day it was!
