Outdoor Freedom

Our boys are truly nature kids.  They would spend all day outside if we let them, rain, snow, sun... it does not matter.  They love it.

 

Having a balcony is great.  Lucas and Jack know how to open the door themselves, and now that the weather is nicer, but before the bugs come out, I can leave the door wide open and Ian can go in and out as he pleases.

He now knows how to navigate the little step down onto the balcony and can get in and out without any help.  He loves to stand at the railing and just look.  The birds are starting to return and there are finches in the tree and seagulls in the pond.  All very interesting to watch.







We have trees on each side of the balcony.  It will be nice to watch them as they start to bud, and then grow their leaves.  Lucas and Jack have already started planning bird feeders and bird houses to attract more birds to our trees.


 The pond is slowly starting to thaw, and we are excite to explore closer.  We are anxiously waiting to find out if we can hear frogs as they start to emerge from their slumber.
