Out Smarted 4 to 1: More Field Trips?

Wow, try staying indoors with the best kids ever when the weather is so beautiful.  We can't seem to focus beyond Spring Fever.  This past week has been full of hikes, parks, bike rides, sprinklers in the backyard and more field trips.  This time we visited some horse friends that we will be taking care of this week (AKA as horse camp) and spent the day at the Ben Avery outdoor expo.  I can't believe all of the awesome things Arizona has to offer, who knew?

Meet the horses!
The kids had a good time petting, feeding and meeting the horses at the horse farm.  This week they will be getting even closer and learning to care for, saddle and ride a horse.  We are all so excited!

 A horse after my own heart! 

Outdoor Expo
All you have to say is "outdoor" and we are there.  This was a great family event packed full of animals, stories, fossils, wildlife walks, fishing and we even met Smokey Bear.  The kids couldn't believe how many people knew who he was.  They asked if he was famous or something.   Man, what do they teach in Cub Scouts now a days?  MY LB took the day off to be with us and I was so happy that he did.  He has been an awesome support with home school and I love him to death for it.

I have a new found love for Spring!  Reading books, working out math problems, learning history and exploring new outlets together while listening to the birds, enjoying the sights of spring, trampling in water and laying in the grass.  Spring is my favorite time of year.

Please don't get to hot!  Please don't get to hot!  Just a little bit longer, PLEEEAAASSSSEEE!
