Then, we had a birthday. We celebrated at Wood Lake Nature Center. The kids went on a treasure hunt with a naturalist, ate pizza and had brownies. Instead of gifts, the birthday girl asked for donations to Oceana to help the penguins. She raised over $50!
With all of the beautiful weather and melting snow, the girls decided that it was time to get out their bikes, only there was one problem. Our littlest biker does not have a helmet yet. As she must be like her sisters at all times, we solved the problem with one of Mama's gardening knee pads.
Finally, the Mama and Papa had a day off thanks to the Grandparents, to take Beekeeping, Part 1. It was extremely informative, but the best part was snowshoeing out to see the beehives. As the instructor was talking, he was lifting the covers and feeding the hives...all while bees were flying into the air around him (and into his shoe for an ankle sting). Our bee order will be in very soon!
Last, but not least, there was a friendly and excited face to greet us when we all made it back home after a long day.
