That one time when the weather was nice....

Last weekend, when it wasn't FREEZING out we took the M & M's and sweet Baby A out for a little hike.

The sunshine was GLORIOUS!

They were so excited to be outside!  And without mountains of winter gear to maneuver in :)

 and of course a little puddle jumping!

 I LOVED her outfit.

 I don't know why.

My sweet Matea....I can just tell she is thinking "Um...are you coming or what old lady?!?"

 love her

 Oh man that outfit!

We strolled on over to Kerry Wood Nature Center and spent some time in the little museum

 And then a little hike outside to the duck blind

Matea was going the wrong way and Mack was "catching" her :)

 Asher was SUPER pumped about the adventure...last year he just hung out in the stroller!

 Snack time of course!

Popcorn for Mack

 Bits & Bites for our sweet girl

 As the 3rd baby Asher just takes whatever he can get ;)

 Our helper Karen came along for the morning.

She is learning more and more about our little "puzzle" aka Matea, and doing stuff with our family really helps - and she helps us out too!!  She is so great with all our kiddo's, and we are so thankful for her.

And then a few days later it was a blizzard again :(
