Spring hike

This evening we hiked at Pigeon Creek Park. It's hard to believe that 2 months ago we were sledding at this same place.

An even better day at the beach

Today was even nicer than yesterday - it was 65º at Rosy Mound Natural Area:

Finally at the beach

We went to the beach for the first time this year. At Kirk Park it was about 45º down by the water.

Eggs

There was so much snow that the Easter Bunny had to hide his eggs in our basement:

Playtime

We went with Grandma and Grandpa Parks to the Grand Rapids Children's Museum:

Top-O-The-Mornin'

Holland's St. Patrick's day parade was held today. It was about 20 minutes long, a nice contrast to the 2 hour long Tulip Time parades (especially when it's 40º out). Interesting fact: 8th Street (the main downtown thoroughfare) is one-way, and this parade is run the wrong direction! Plus they hand out candy, which is strictly forbidden at Tulip Time.


Holland's own "Zeke the Wonder Dog" (famous for his performances at Michigan State football games) was there too:
