The May flowers are beautiful this year. Last Saturday we had the grandgirls and we dragged them all over the county! They had fun and so did we. We went to the Carlyle Visitors Center to see the raptors. We saw the bald eagle, some owls, red tailed hawk and a turkey buzzard. The girls thought the birds were awesome. We then went to the Equestrian Center next door and there were some people there with their horses. The girls went crazy over the horses and enjoyed petting them. Of course the horses were a little intimidating as the girls are very small and the horses quite large.
We stopped at McDonalds and picked up lunches. We went to the Russia Township Hall complex to eat, but it was so windy there that our lunches kept blowing away. So we put away our lunches and let the girls play on the playground equipment. I still find it frightening when the kids climb up on the slides. They are so high and there just isn't enough protection (I don't think) to keep small children from falling from the top.
After that we went to Schoeffle Gardens in Birmingham where there is a carousel that the girls can ride for free. They love it! I tend to get dizzy on it so I stepped off at the last moment! The flowers in the park are just beautiful and I wanted to walk around and check every flower, but the girls had other plans. We found a picnic table and finished our lunches. It was a wonderful day with the girls, but we were really pooped by the time they went home. We just love those girls so!
