Fresno Zoo, Easter in Colorado and Hike It Baby Adentures

A lot has been going on in our lives the past few weeks.  Zane and I have been members of Hike it Baby for three years now.  If you haven't heard of them, it is an awesome organization that gets kids and parents outside, there are local chapters all over the US, and it's a great place to meet new people and find new trails.  The month of April was one of their challenge months, Hike It Baby 30-the basic goals are 30 minutes outside three times a week or 30 miles in 30 days.  Zane and I set our own goal of 65 miles and no zero days(meaning we are spending time outside every day).  Well we smashed our goals and hit 86 miles and 140.5 hours outside for the month of April.  So proud of Zane who did all but about 4 miles on his own two feet!!  We explored some new trails around Hartland and had a great time.

Earlier in the month we were invited to go to the Fresno Zoo with some friends.  Zane had a great time seeing all the animals and hanging out with his friends.

They also had a petting zoo section where they handed out brushes to all the kids.  Zane loved going around and brushing all the goats.

For Easter weekend we flew to Colorado to stay with Casey's brother and family.  His Mom, Sister and her whole family drove out from Iowa to join us.  Zane had a great weekend wrestling with his cousins and jumping on the trampoline.  It was great to spend time with family and we even got to visit with some friends while we were there.

During the last month Zane has been working very hard on a new skill.  Two days ago we did a mile and he rode about 75% of it on the bike.

Spring has finally arrived and we have had some wonderfully warm days.  Looking forward to the summer months and experiencing Hartland in the busy season.

Have a blessed May.
