golfing into spring

Last weekend we spent some time at the driving range over at DC's Hains Point, soaking in the signs of spring all around us. It's become one of our favorite things to do as a family when the weather is nice and we have a little free time.
It was Katy's first time. She's a natural athlete so she picked things up quickly. Christian made for a great little caddy. ;)
Christian was happy as a clam. He always is, when there are balls and things to hit them with involved.



Christian got some really good hits in. Or drives. Or whatever they are called.
Pierce was so happy to be outside, enjoying the sun. I think being a winter baby makes you appreciate the little things that much more.
Another highlight for Christian was picking out his own drink at the vending machine. Ahh, the little things in life that make our day. ;)
We then played a round of mini-golf because we just couldn't get enough of our gorgeous surroundings and perfect weather. (Plus, at $5 per kid, it's a no-brainer!)
Katy has some real mini-golf skills so she made her way quickly around the course.
Sweet little P took in all the excitement he could handle and then fell asleep sitting up.
Focused. At least for a good 10 secs or so.
Don't you just love the view behind them? Blossoms along the Potomac River.
A few days later, the cherry blossoms peaked. More pictures of those beauties to come.

My favorite part of this post: "Christian got some really good hits in. Or drives. Or whatever they are called." Just so funny to me. Your boys are getting so big. Gosh, we need to see you! Darn, those weekend soccer games!
