Finally, Spring has sprung and we all enjoyed the beautiful day. Although the high was only in the mid 50's, after this long winter, it felt as great as any sunny, summer day. Meg and Cam returned to their Baseball Hall of Fame personalities this morning as they practiced their pitching and catching in the backyard. It was nice to hear the sound of the basketball on the driveway again before Cal and my Dad headed to the golf course.
Even I joined in the outdoor activities, as I surprised the younger Heinisch children by offering to take them on a bike ride. Normally, Doug is the leader for this excursion. We stopped at my Mom's about a mile away and decided that was not a long enough trip. So, we headed around the lake by way of the golf course. I think our enthusiasm for Spring might have gotten the best of us, however. Once we stopped by hole number 15 to chat with Grandpa and Cal we decided that three miles was enough. Luckily, Brett was home and more than willing to bring his truck out to get us. Although, we didn't make it completely around the lake (6 miles) we were happy to have the weather to give it a try.
Doug had Spring fever as well and once he got home from work he was ready to play tennis with Cam and Meg, and take Cal on in their never ending one-on-one basketball challenge. Cal got the better of him tonight, so I know they will be back out again tomorrow. Brett has decided that he is ready to break out the shorts and t-shirts, and I dropped off my white, winter coat at the dry cleaners. Thus, the Heinisch family is officially calling it the end of winter! Finally, the ground hog can come out of hiding - we are no longer mad!!
