The sun is shining, the robins have returned, the tulips are poking up...does that mean spring is here? Gabe was not convinced, so off we went, through our neighborhood and up the hill...
to a nearby subdivision that has not one, but two, playgrounds to explore. Along the way, Gabe demanded that I photograph each clover and dandelion, every pear and weeping cherry tree in bloom (I won't bore y'all with each one of those pics, though).
The walk was long, and Gabe needed to take a rest on the swing.
Quickly restored, we walked on to the second playground, where Gabe climbed and slid and swang (swinged, swung?) to his heart's content.
After looking high and low, Gabe finally decided we found spring, after all. Hooray!
Spring in our area means ducks and worms and fish (and lots of duck poop). And you know he wouldn't rest until we saw some of that...
Gabe is such a good sport, he even took off his jacket (despite the chilly breeze) and let me take his picture for his senior (preschool) portrait:
The joy of "finding spring" through Gabe's eyes is an experience I won't soon forget.
Truly an "avenchur" worth taking!

There's nothing like seeing the world through a child's eyes!!!
That last picture if fantastic!!!
I love how Gabe had to make sure and stop at both playgrounds!
What an adorable picture you took for his senior (preschool) portrait.
I agree with Rebecca Jo, there's nothing like seeing the world through the innocence of a child's eyes.
Oh thank you for this, I am so glad that you found spring. Great photos.
Love the pics of your "avenchur"!
We had a spring-like day here today... sunny, high of 70. Tomorrow should be warmer, but rain. And Monday? The high should be 44. Yes, you heard correct... 44.
Grrrrr...

Awesome senior picture! That's my boy. I found your dad's picture and put it in my car to bring over. It is very hard to tell that it is not Gabe. You are a wonderful mother taking such an advechur! What memories you will have. Love, Mom
