Picnic with family

We took a whirlwind trip to visit family.  It was very busy but we had a great time.

Spring in Baton Rouge

 It's been raining a lot here lately so the crawfish are coming up.  This was an exceptionally large mound.  Crawfish season will be here in just another month.

 Pink perfection.

Spring also brings LSU gymnastics.  We try to make it at least once each year but the night gets a bit late so the next day is rough.

Reading

The kids love to read and it's wonderful when an older child will read to a younger one.

Blood oranges

We found a new orange at our local produce stand.   It's called a blood orange but the kids renamed it cran-orange because they don't like the name blood orange.  It is very sweet and makes a beautiful juice.

Rainy days

harvest

 We get a little something from our yard almost every day.  These are the biggest carrots we have ever gotten.  I added a lot of sand to where we grew them and it seemed to have worked.  Maybe we should have let them go a little longer but it is so exciting once the kids figure out what's under the ground it's hard stopping them.

 The peas will only last another month or so and then it'll be too hot.

I thought G looked a bit like a flower in the garden.

bike riding

F has reached a new milestone, riding a bike with no training wheels.  Oh, the places we can go now!!
