Spring Activities

Spring is upon us and in my house we love getting outside and doing things that we we’re able to do during the winter.

1.       Play in the Sandbox.

2.       Start a garden – Thomas loves digging around in the dirt, and the Easter Bunny brought him some gardening tools that double as sandbox toys. We will be putting them to use.

3.       Have a picnic.

4.       Playing T-Ball – For his birthday Thomas received a T-ball set from his Aunt and Uncle. He absolutely loves taking it outside and swinging at the ball. He also loves it when you carry him around and chase someone down with it during a “game”.

5.       Ride his toy 4 – wheeler. There just isn’t room to ride it in our house so it’s a special treat to ride it around outside.

6.       Look at the baby animals – Living on a ranch provides us with the ability to walk down the road and look at all the calves. And he absolutely loves it. But I also like to take him to the farm store and look at all the ducklings and chicks that they have.
