Spring!

This weekend we went down to Iowa to visit Aaron's parents. We had a great time staying at Grandma Jo's house, and playing at the park with Grandpa Greg! But it was a long drive back today.

We got back to beautiful weather and melting snow. We were tired of sitting after the long drive, so we decided to go for a walk. We had Maisie put on some rain boots that my mom got her last year, and a good thing we did - she immediately found a huge puddle in front of our house and started running up and down the sidewalk, splashing her way through the puddle!

We said "Maisie, don't you want to go for a walk?" She replied "No walk, stay here!" So she splashed and splashed in this gigantic puddle to her heart's content, while we chatted with the neighbors. The water was pretty deep - up past her ankles - and she had some good splashing going, enough so that her pants got soaked!

Eventually she got cold and tired, and wanted to take a warm bath (smart girl) so we went inside. She had so much water in her boots that Aaron had to wring her socks out in the sink!
