Spring Break 2017

 We had such a cold Spring Break this year, but we all needed to get out of our homes! Megan and Andy joined us with their children at the beach and so did Anne.  The kids found a driftwood fort!

 The next day we took the kids to see the cherry blossoms on the capital grounds, and we brought a bag of shelled peanuts so the kids could feed the squirrels (I used to do that as a little girl and I took my children when they were small).

 A group was giving windmills to the children :)
 We took the kids to Riverfront Park. This little girl has no fear!

 Taking a turn on the carousel. Local citizens carved and painted these carousel animals. It brought the community together in a special way.
