Outdoor Fun!

Well, the weather has turned around quite nicely the last few weeks. While March and a good part of April was quite chilly (like it should be), there were a few days that gave glimpses into what was coming: warm weather.

And it was on those days that we made sure we spent time outside. We spend most of our time in the backyard, as our driveway can be like a road sometimes.

But I know Lincoln would LOVE to spend every waking minute on that busy driveway, what with all the dump trucks, tow trucks, garbage trucks, recycling trucks, gas trucks, regular trucks, trucks with trailers, bobcats, payloaders, cars, ride-on lawn mowers, (I am sure I missed something) that can be seen entering and exiting our place.

And if we are in the backyard and the payloader is going, he will stand like this and watch it go back and forth, even though all he can see is the top of it above the hedge!

And if the payloader wasn't running, there were still plenty of things to do, from playing the car to playing in a very large sandbox, every boy's dream! 

This sandbox has gotten a tonne of use so far. The amount of time they play in it far outweighs the amount of sand I find in their beds:



In April we managed to enjoy a picnic as well as go for many walks in town, ending at the park.

And while this boy is enjoying everything "boy", this girl is off in the backyard, picking every.single."flower" for me:

With what has all occupied our minds and prayers since the beginning of May, I am a little behind in my pictures. And so that is why these pictures are almost a month overdue. I have a lot more to post yet, like our little family getaway to a waterpark/hotel as well as the participating of us and friends in the challenge of Tough Mudder. So lots yet to catch up on. But our hearts and thoughts remain with the Bosma family. Today was Tim Bosma's funeral, which was live. If you missed it, you can find it here. And there was news of a 2nd arrest in this case. It is not over! May God continue to bless and guide the investigators!!
