It's March in Ohio. Most days are cold and gray and all the pretty shoes are tucked away. Everyone is starting to get restless. Isabelle needs to run. Ivan needs to run. I need some fresh air ... AHHHH. BUT the good news is I think Ivan and I discovered the secret to surviving the tail end of winter this weekend ... LOOK FOR SPRING!
This past weekend Franklin Park Conservatory & Botanical Gardens opened the Blooms & Butterflies exhibit, which made it very easy to start LOOKING for spring! We then went for a walk (in 45 degree heat wave) and found some great puddles to JUMP in!
Ivan getting the mileage out of his (waterproof) winter boots puddle jumping! Him and Izzy have more in common every day!
ENJOY WHAT WINTER HAS TO OFFER ... we made sure to build a snow man, play in his sled (I am no Alaskan Husky, contrary to Ivan's ideas), go skiing, perfecting hot chocolate and getting super creative indoors.
Last ski of the season at Snowtrails in Mansfield, Ohio
I am definitely looking forward to spring break and the leaves to return to the trees ... yet in doing so, trying hard not to wish time away!!
