Outdoor Fun

We've had some warmer weather this week.  It's only January, yet this evening the tornado sirens went off and an EF2 tornado actually touchdowned in downtown.  The tornado came down about 15 miles north of us and in a residential area, so thank goodness there were no serious injuries.  Before all that excitement, we've been fortunate to enjoy spending our afternoons this week outside.

I'm all about equal opportunity and noticed from labeling the kids in the blog postings that Claire is behind in picture postings, so fortunately, she was the easiest to photograph outside yesterday. Even though the weather was in the 60s, Claire still thought she needed her hat.

First, Claire thought it would be fun to dig up Mom's mulch. . .

Then. she decided to ride the small bicycle, followed by a little jump roping . . .

Next, the Dora bike made it out of the garage. . .

Wait a minute, have to make sure we wear our helmet (and backwards of course). . .

Finally, I think we've tried about everything this afternoon.  Time to get the coat off and go inside. . .
