Besides, these pictures of our first bike ride of the year (and Peter's first bike ride ever) are sure to convince you that we've made it through the winter and are preparing to bud and blossom into springtime. Also featured here: Peter's first and second times swinging at the park.
The pictures were taken this past Wednesday as we rode bikes to a nearby park and then let the girls ride their bikes at our park across the street.
The whole family, ready for adventure (Fletcher not shown - someone had to take the picture).
Ella and Elisabeth enjoy the space shuttle ride even as they ponder the future of NASA and space exploration.
Peter's just happy for a chance to ride - first the bike, now the space shuttle!
Back at home, Elisabeth tries out her pedalling while Peter hangs out in the swing.
Ella's bike fits better this year after raising the seat several inches. A slight adjustment to the training wheels improved her confidence.
Peter (the jester) in his second swinging experience. He may be dressed a little warmly or the girls may be dressed not quite warm enough. I think I had a t-shirt on and was warm the whole time, but I was pulling a 60 lbs of trailer and kids around.

These are great pictures! I love seeing Peter, Elisabeth, and Ella out now that the snow has melted. Thanks for sharing, Steve and Rachel.
Yes, things are greening up down here, especially after a few showers on Friday. The lilies have just begun poking through the dirt.
Ditto to Ben's comment, the pictures are great! So good to get outside, isn't it! Peter does look like a jester! Spring is definitely in bloom in Muskegon, and the forsythia are a vibrant yellow. Thank you for posting, and keeping your family in touch with all of us.
