Springtime fun

After being cooped up all winter we have been spending as much time outside as possible. Paige has been experiencing all kind of new things and loving every minute of it. 
First up, I got us a family membership to the zoo. We had a membership when Ella was little, and we went to the zoo quite often. Paige loves being outside so I knew she would enjoy the zoo just like her sister. 
We went for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Paige was a little unsure at first but quickly got the hang of things. She loved running around freely (after she got over her uncertainty). She had only seen most of these animals in books so this was a whole new world to her. 

There was a lot of pointing going on that day.

She also enjoyed smelling the flowers.

On our way out she plopped down on the ground in front of the lake and enjoyed a snack. It was a good day at the zoo. I'm sure we have many more trips in our future. 

We have also had a few days warm enough to pull out Paige's water table. She loves to splash, but the water was SO cold. Can't wait to see how she likes the pool this year. 

We have been getting a ton of rain lately. Adam took Paige out to jump in the puddles, and she loved it!
