Granny & Pepaw came to Visit - Part 2

We went on many more adventures get ready there are lots of pictures...
It began to feel like Spring this week, so we spent lots of time outside! Here's some pictures of Elizabeth enjoying the sunshine with her hat on...I thought these turned out good!



Elizabeth trying on Madilynn's princess crown - ha!
Tuesday afternoon we took a trip to the zoo. It's a small park/zoo here in Logan just a few blocks from our house. Madilynn enjoyed seeing all of the animals - we saw deer, bobcat, porcupine, elk, bald eagle, and lots of ducks & geese. The monkeys weren't out - maybe we'll see them next time!
Elizabeth watching the ducks
After seeing all the animals we played in the park...Elizabeth got to try out the swing for the first time! Daddy pushing both girls!
Elizabeth loved it!
With lots of time outside Madilynn got to explore the playhouse in the backyard! There is a ladder inside to go up into the top...she is now a pro at going up and down, she calls it her school...
Wednesday morning we headed out to Brigham City, UT to the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. We drove through a 12 mile auto tour of the area to see all of the birds, swans, ducks & geese! We let Madilynn & Elizabeth get out of their seats to see!

Having a ball!
There were thousands of swans, but they were so far away we just saw them with binoculars. There were beautiful views of the mountains and the water. Here are some geese we were able to get close enough to before they flew off - the water was still frozen in some places...
Wednesday afternoon Daddy finished up raking the leaves in the backyard (with Madilynn's help)! There's still some snow on the side yards and in the front yard, so we'll have to wait a little longer for those. The temperature got up into the low 60's it was great - I almost broke out the flip flops!!
Elizabeth even enjoyed hanging out in the backyard in her new set-up!
We had lots of fun!! So glad Spring is here - I love all the sunshine!!
