Finally, a break in the weather

Cooper and I had a great time exploring the backyard this past weekend.  The weather was unusually warm, and we could just start to see the beginning of spring.  I almost ran in earlier to get the camera, but we are having too much fun that I didn't want to break the spell.

We saw the new leaf buds on the lilac and hydrangeas, talked about how we need to cut back the crape myrtle, picked up sticks, and looked for birds.  He stared really hard at the blueberry bush.  I think he was wishing for berries to magically appear.

The sandbox and swing were our last stops, and I snapped a few pictures.
