down by the river

Today on President's Day we decided to do a little sight seeing in our historic area.  Our town is one of the first (if not the first) settlement in the Northwest territory.  I really need to do some more research to learn all the details and facts.

We all needed to get out and get some fresh air.  It felt good to watch the kids laugh and run after being in the house for a few days.

We walked along the river and explored and hit buckeyes with sticks that looked like golf clubs. 

It was a bit breezy and I was cold, but without the wind it would have felt nice.  We all decided we are ready for springtime.  There is a fun bike trail down by the river, and also a fun area we could take the dogs to play.  

I can't wait to see this area down by the river all green and blooming with flowers!  I officially have spring fever.  I'm not so sure if that is a good thing.  I know it will be cold here WAY into March.  A girl can hope though right!
