Watering the Flowers

I have gone a little crazy this year buying flowers! We have been going to the nursery two or three times a week since spring arrived. It has been a wonderful stress relief to play out in the yard as a balance to working so hard. The kids love playing gardener too. Elena is especially fond of watering the flowers with her little watering can and digging around with her Dora shovel and gloves.Alex has been a big helper with the mulch, and even pushes the big wheelbarrow this year.
Jeff and Alex took a break to play a little soccer while Elizabeth and Elena watered some of the newly planted flowers. Alex and Elena will both attend soccer camp with Challenger Sports later in the summer!
Elena took a bike ride to admire all our hard work. So pretty!
