The Park

Do you know what these next two pictures mean?!?! Rexburg is thawing out! People are emerging from their winter hibernation! We can see some GREEN! HOORAY!
Look at all that MELTING snow! I love the winters, but part of my love for them comes because of how sweet they make the spring.

Ben took Evelyn and Hannah to the park the other day. It was still pretty cold, in the 40's, but no one cared.
Evelyn was feeling so confident in her emergence from the home that she was sure she had mastered the monkey bars in her wintertime day dreaming. She hung on the first bar, called to Ben to watch and in her swing from the first to second bar her hands slid and she fell FLAT on her bum.

She sat and cried and cried and then just came home. Poor girl.We thought she might be hurting for a couple of days, but she was okay the next morning. Just as a side note, Ben had to stay close to Hannah who was high on the big toy, so that's the only reason why Evelyn is all alone. We gave her lots of attention and cuddles and even a little Tylenol for her aching bumarooney.

Okay, those first couple of pictures make me SO HAPPY to be where I am! It's in the 70s here and the trees are blooming (that means I'm having terrible allergies, but that's okay)

Oh how sad. Poor Evelyn. Her sad face is just heart-breaking.

hooray for Rexburg DEFROSTING! How fun to get out in some fresh air--even if it was a little chilly. Warm days are on their way!
