Grandpa and Grandma Johnson visit

This weekend Grandma and Grandpa Johnson visited from Maine while Mom was on a well-deserved and hard-earned vacation with her friends in St. Thomas.  The Saturday weather remained slightly above average and the sun stayed out long enough for us to enjoy an extended bike ride around the Hartford waterfront.

Ashley reading one of her new favorite books to Grandma


The flowering trees are very close to blooming

Cleaning the tower

Lauren showing some new moves on the swing


This unusual tree on the Connecticut River was one of the real highlights for the girls




Sarah on the Hartford tour

By far the favorite piece of trailside sculpture was this giant wire horse


Lauren was tired from all the pedaling (she really helped a lot, so I believe it)

Turns out Ashley was tired too...
