What a Difference a Week Makes

One week ago today we were playing in the snow and today we were basking in the nice, warm weather. We took advantage of the weekend's beatiful weather and spent some time outdoors. Yesterday we drove down to Decatur to visit the Wheeler Wild Life Refuge. The kids had a good time walking along the paths and watching the ducks and turtles through from the observation room.




One of the many turtles we saw.



Family photo op.

I guess we should get a tripod so we can all be in the picture at the same time.

This is in the observation room. There weren't a whole lot of ducks left but enough to entertain the kids.

Today we loaded up the kids' bikes and headed to a local walking/bike trail down by the river.

We stopped to throw some rocks in the river and Cade made it all of about 3 minutes before slipping on a rock (by Cameron) and wallowing around in about 3 inches of water. He wasn't very happy.

This place will be beautiful when summer gets here. I probably won't see it though. I'll be curled up in a ball in the house with the A/C on high.

Riding buddies.

Cute shot of Cade.

This next photo was almost worthy of a post of its own. The obvious title would be "Like Father Like Son"

Remember when I accidently shaved the side of my head a couple of months ago? Look what Cade did. Fortunately, it isn't quite as bad as it looks in this shot. His bald spot is sort of covered up when his hair is brushed to the side. Thank God he only buzzed a couple of inches and not half his head.
