Springtime in WI

is seriously bi-polar.

We had a beautiful weekend last weekend -- with temps in the 80s on Sunday.  EIGHTIES... IN APRIL!  As I type this blog post right now, it is SNOWING outside.

How's that for bi-polar?

We took advantage of the warm weather to head down to the park at the end of our street.  I really am going to miss that park when we move....

Loaded up in the wagon ready to go!

Mason bids us farewell....

When we got there, Sam was enthralled with sitting in the grass...

He was especially excited about PICKING the grass... 

and of course EATING it too... 

Then he decided to try rolling around in the grass...

He wasn't really sure about the sensation of the prickly grass on his head.

Meanwhile big brother Max was all over the play equipment.  Climbing, swinging, sliding...

All that hard work calls for a snack break!

Mom and Sam cuddling on the swing...

Max finished his snack and went back to climbing...

Then it was Sam's turn for a little snack...

We saw these guys playing in the creek right before we left and watched them for a couple of minutes.

I love springtime in WI...the rebirth after a long, cold winter.  Green poking up through all the winter brown... I just wish Spring wasn't so bi-polar...that it could stay awhile once it comes...but I guess that wouldn't be spring as we know it...

And yes, the snow has stopped as I finished up this post.  Let's hope it stays away for awhile longer (like until NEXT winter, ok?)
