We're Melting, We're Melting!!!!!!!!

Hooray!!! The snow is FINALLY melting! It has been so exciting to actually be able to go play in the backyard. We have hit temperatures as high as 50 in the past week. It still freezes most nights, but we are making progress (just in time for us to leave for Texas!). It has been fun to see how quickly everything melts. People were walking on the lake behind our house just last week and it is already just water in some spots.

This was taken on Saturday and by Monday, our backyard was snow free (it was not, however, poop free...the result of months of snow cover without poop scooping--ick) !

Big smiles for outside time!

In our excitement, we decided to go to the dog park on Sunday. Unfortunately, with lots of snow melting comes lots of mud and a soggy soggy mess! Every time Maya did her usual "dog park drive-by" (or fly-by), we all got covered in mud. Olivia thought it was hilarious that she kept getting splattered in mud. I think we were there for about 5 minutes before we realized we were a little over excited and should have waited a couple weeks.
