By March we were tired of snow and cold and ready for spring to arrive. It was so beautiful when the apricot, cherry, and apple trees blossomed. We waited for our red tulips to blossom and the snow to melt.
We enjoyed celebrating Easter and going on bike rides again. David especially liked flying kites in the field behind our house. We planted some vegetables in our garden, and baseball practice began. Sometimes we went to the zoo in the spring so we could see the baby animals.
We spent hours finishing school projects. Each child had to do a report on a state and make a map to show their state. Each chose to do it on Ohio where their dad was born. Near the end of school, we went to school programs in the evenings. When they were older, we went to many wonderful orchestra concerts.
Another fun thing we did at the end of spring was go to the Art City Days parade and activities. Garrett and his sons went to the annual father and son’s camp-out in the canyon.
We often spent the month of May having dinner at the school while we watched baseball games and enjoying being outside again. Spring was always a beautiful and busy time of year for us.
