March Heat Wave

We had a record-smashing heat wave here in Michigan this month (you probably did wherever you are too!).  The temps soared to the upper 70s and into the upper 80s for eight days straight, breaking records seven of those days.  We took full advantage of the summer-like weather to get outside with the girls.  Here are some pics.


 We tried out a new park in Caledonia and had a picnic there.  It was kind of overcast that day, but still nice and warm.  The girls loved exploring a new playground.




 Eva wants to do everything Lena does, of course.




 "Come on, Eva! This way!"


This park actually has separate playground equipment for little kids and bigger kids.




 Taking a rest.


 A flock of sandhill cranes flew overhead.  This park is neat because it's got a small lake on one side and a swampy area on the other side.

I took a few videos of the girls swinging.











 On March 20, the first day of spring, it was hot enough to let the girls run through the sprinkler.  We couldn't pass up that opportunity!


 Eva's not such a big fan of the sprinkler.


 She had fun playing on the deck, though.


 Lena loved it, of course.


 Their sunglasses are always missing one arm.






 This would be a great pic if Eva's eyes were open!


 Of course, they both have to go down at the same time.


 "Ooof!"


 The next day was even hotter, but Lena didn't feel like doing the sprinkler again.




 Lena and her bucket of dirt.


 Our forsythia bush bloomed.


 So did the hyacinth.


 Taking a break.  You can tell how hot it is by seeing Eva's red face!


 Not sure if she is whispering or kissing.




 Lena riding her "horsey" with her "cowboy hat".


 Eva wanted to wear the hat too.


 The girls got to help Daddy fill up the bird feeders.







I know a lot of people thought it was too hot, but we really enjoyed the warm weather.  Can't wait for summer!
