Just a Hint

There was just a hint of the coming spring in the air this week.  We actually spent some time playing outside - usually with a light jacket, but still . . . . outside in the clean air just the same!

We spent a little quality time with our remote controlled cars after school 

one day.  Ahh - good times!

 We went out to dinner with our friends one night for Uncle Randy's birthday.  Easton (his grandson) was there and we had the BEST time!  Easton and I even happened to have the exact same shirt on.  Yep - we're both cool like that!

 Saturday was a little cloudy and breezy but still on the warmer side of winter weather.  So we made the most of it and headed out for some adventures.  

We stopped for a visit to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point.  

Here we are mooing with the cow.

 This turkey was strutting around all puffed up.  He sure was handsome.  Makes us want a nice yummy turkey dinner with sweet potatoes, rolls, and cranberry salad.  Somehow I don't think he was dreaming about Thanksgiving dinner!

The Farm jail - hopefully not a sign of anything to come!

 We took a family spin around the Farm on the tractor-pulled wagon.  

And we did a little horse riding.  

Yee Haw Sam!

Our favorite part of the Farm is feeding the goats.  They did not disappoint.  They're always hungry and ready to eat.

After the Farm, we headed for mini golfing.  We tried a new place that we had never golfed at before - it was fun.  

Sam and I are learning to take mini golf a bit more seriously.  We're focusing on our shots and working hard to get the ball in the hole in as few hits as possible.

Mom and dad claim it's a lot more fun when we play seriously rather than us running around like squirrels the whole time.  

Mom lost the game by 2 strokes and had to treat us all to ice cream afterwards.  

It's nice to think that spring isn't too far away. 

Sam Alert:  Hey everyone - Most of the snow you see in this picture has now melted.  The weather people say we're going to get more snow this week, but spring snow is always better than winter snow!  My remote controlled car doesn't like ANY snow however.

I wrote a note to my family for Valentine's Day - - - can you read it?  

It says "Happy Valentine's my family".

Sam out - have a great week!
