Spring Fever

I got the urge to rake the other day because it was sooo nice out and our yard really needed it. I don't rake very often; maybe that is why I always get blisters. I really do wear gloves, but it doesn't seem to matter!

Anyways, the kids were outside too and wanted to roast marshmallows on my leaf pile. The neighbor and I decided to use our campfire ring instead, so the marshmallows wouldn't taste like burnt leaves. Yuck!

This demonstrates my fire skills...
Pretty nonexistant. I burned alot of paper and not much wood. In my defense, it was all a bit damp. My neighbor found some lighter fluid and then we were on a roll!!

Look!! Barefoot in April!! Does it get any better?? Although, it's pretty cold today...
Here, Al is taking a moment to relax before he heads out to the next job....
And this is the marshmallow Carter made for Moma!!!

Casey enjoys a s'more! We really have the camping bug now!! Can't wait!!

I can't wait to use my new kayak either! I'm actually going to try it out tonight!! A friend from work, Janette, and I are going to a marsh near here for a program being put on by our local outdoors store and kayaking and hopefully seeing some wildlife and staying dry!! Should be fun!! I'll try and take pictures...hopefully my camera stays dry; I'd hate to have to buy another one!
