Spring is in the air

While the Midwest gets the occasional snowstorm, March in Arizona brings the start of our really good weather. Which means that Ava gets to enjoy lots of outside time. The last few weeks have been perfect for the little one to run around outside, play on the swings and slides, and just enjoy the sunshine.

Here’s Ava admiring the neighbor’s golden retriever puppy.

At the park, heading for the basketball (“B-ball” in her words) court and the tennis courts.

Taking a little break from hiking….all that work in the backpack makes her thirsty!

Of course warmer weather means that the water features are being turned on at the parks and the shopping centers. Ava wasted no time in getting her feet (and entire body) wet by playing in the fountains.

Ava has also discovered that being an assistant in the kitchen is fun. Especially now that she can watch from the top of her stepstool.

All tuckered out after a long day of playing….
