outdoor spring fun!!

Spring is certainly here...in Seattle!  The flowers are all in bloom and we've had quite a few warm and sunny days so far.  I love spring in Seattle...the flowers are so vibrant and plentiful...I'm sure in part due to all the rain and cooler temps ;)  A perk...some may say!

Because of all the great weather, Madelyn and I have been able to get out and enjoy some fun things around town.
A trip to the zoo with my friend Michele and her son Lachlan for starters...
Some animal highlights!
I think the animals were really enjoying the sun too!  Most of them were out and about soaking in those rays :)
A little fuzzy but you can still see the pure elation on their faces :)
Parks, Running, Balls :) yay!
I think it's safe to say that Maddie is a "shoe girl"!  She absolutely loves taking them on and off, walking around in them (all day!), and picking out a particular pair that suit her that day ;)  It's pretty funny...and very girly ;)
SO fun!
these two are only about three weeks apart in age and they see quite a bit of each other...
The start of spring wouldn't be the same without a visit to Greenlake!
Loves a good under-dog!
Madelyn and Mia have truly been enjoying each other these days.  It is just precious to see their faces when they see each other!!  They really do love each other.
Just gabbin' it up on the swings!
OH MY!!! when did our girls get so big???
Watching the ducks at Greenlake and tickling the water with their toes...
"Here duckie duckie..."
Not a big fan of being barefoot...
Nothing better than some chubby toddler toes :)
Climbing....
...is what we do best!  We also visited the Seattle Gymnastics Academy recently with a group of friends (unfortunately in all the excitement we didn't get any pictures!!) and Madelyn loved all the climbing, bouncing, jumping, balancing, and running that she got to do there!  

An evening  home game at the Seattle Mariners is another springtime favorite in our house!  Kurt's good friend Landon came to town to visit with his girlfriend, Michelle, and we were sure to enjoy the spring weather as well!!
