The GREAT, GREAT outdoors...


It was such a nice day on Sunday that we couldn't pass up the opportunity to take our first family bike ride after CLN (Church, Lunch, Naps!) One of the advantages of living so close to UMass Dartomouth is being able to bike around there campus on the weekends when it's deserted. Harry was most excited, but had a bit of hard time keeping up, and ABSOLUTED FREAKED OUT when I took off ahead with Skip for awhile. Poor thing kept yelling, "Momma, "Sta-boi" (Mommy, with you!) so we changed our course and took the parking lot route around the campus. NO cars on the weekend, and it gave more space for Harry to dawdle, and for Skip to race around while we waited for Harry to catch up  When we got home we hopped into the truck and drove to Smith Mills Landing, about 2 miles away. There is ALWAYS something to do there. This time they fed the ducks and geese, watched the rapids, ran around a bunch, and played on the old water wheel, pretending it was a boat. When we got home, Harry was EXHAUSTED, so evening services was out of the question, BUT, it was an awesome, Spring Preview Weekend!
Always the clown...
Impatiently waiting while the tire is rechecked!
A southpaw?
Watching the swollen river
Back to feedin' ducks...
Lollipop break
Playin' in the old water wheel
Life is good!
Don't want to forget the geese!
The ham...
Mommy's cold!
"Cheese"
More hammin' it up for the camera...
PLEASE can we stay a little longer?
One more romp at the water wheel before we go..
Yep, I'm likin' it here!
