5K, SPRING DAZE ARTS & CRAFTS FESTIVAL, GARDEN, AVERY LEARNING TO WALK

We've been really busy lately!  Yesterday especially...

We went to downtown Raleigh for the Run For Our Heroes 5k Race (Benefits the families of police officers killed in the line of duty).  It was a neat course, right through downtown, around the State Capitol building, then through Peace College, and back downtown for the finish.  We did it with Jim's cousin John who lives near us.

It was absolutely perfect day out for it, mid-70s and clear skies.  On our walk back to the parking garage, we passed by the City of Raleigh's building, and it was named the Avery Building... So Avery had to get her picture taken sitting up on the sign!

Then we still got home in time to do some yard sailing, still wearing the bib number from the race

After that we walked over to Bond Park where the Town of Cary was having there Spring Daze Arts & Crafts Festival

We wandered around listing to the live music on the different stages, checking out the art/photography, and having some food to eat too.  We had soy barbeque sandwiches , you'd never known the difference between real meat ones, they were great tasting!  There were litterally hundreds of booths, 4 music stages, and great weather too!  They also had a section for Earth Day there, Avery and Colleen got their picture taken

On our walk back home, Avery and Colleen posed for a nice picture in front of the lake in the background, people were out paddle-boating enjoying the perfect day out.

Then we went to Durham to meet our friend Tina and her husband for Sushi.

Later after that, Avery was showing off her new skills!  She is getting really close to walking now, she can cruise with her walker

We also got our garden going this spring, we got a lot of our plants at the Raleigh Farmer's Market.  We planted bell peppers, tomatos, squash, cucumbers and strawberries.

We also have an herb garden with basil, rosemarry, and chives.

We wish every day could be filled with so many fun things!  Too bad every day isn't a weekend...
