Scooter-ific Saturday

Yesterday was the perfect spring day. I don't think there is a better place to be in the spring than Northern Virginia. Between conference sessions, we down to the river. Avery got a scooter for her birthday and has been wanting to go for a scooter ride. She's getting pretty good at it!

How cute are they? Dono's got a bit of a spring in his step!

This is what I see out my front door.

I do have some sad news though. Remember the mother goose we found? We have been going down to check on her, waiting for her eggs to hatch. Well, on Friday, we had a really heavy rainstorm. Our front yard was like a little pond. When we went down to check on Mother Goose yesterday, her nest had washed away. We could still see a couple of the eggs at the bottom of the river. Avery was really upset that the mama had left her babies. We talked about why she had to leave her babies behind, and Avery finally said "But you'll never do that, right mama?" I assured her that I wouldn't.
