Going for a Spring Walk...Checking out the newly blossomed trees and nature

We are headed off for our walk. We are in search of newly blossomed trees and signs of Spring.
 The kids really liked this tree
 Checking out purple flowers growing in the grass
 Smelling the blossoms
 This tree drops seeds that look like snakes
 The kids were pretty fascinated by it and scared at the same time. It really looked like there were snakes on the ground. 
 Some of the kids were not afraid to pick them up
 When we arrived back to preschool we spotted a bunny in the yard
What a fun walk. The kids can't wait to go on another one again!
