Out of Doors

Now that the weather has moderated in this neck of the woods, we are enjoying nature as much as possible. It makes for a much calmer inside if all the bodies expend energy outside.

Little boys with their jeans rolled up are soooooo cute!

He wants to try everything. More power to him. I am grateful that he feels good enough to be able to do most activities.

Monkey bars have many uses.

Very fun when they think they will get a rise out of me and I enjoy their antics.

A very beautiful spot with a mountainous backdrop of unspoiled scenery.

Joshua couldn't decided if he was hot or cold. 

That is a REAL smile.

This is what I'm talkin' about. School outside. Why not?

Joshua has been the best thing for Trey and Micah's learning curve. His interest in school (thank you China) is contagious.

So school on the lawn was going well except for one little problem.....

Our extremely cute distraction.

We live in the land of lakes so on Monday when the thermometer said ninety, there was really no option except to go find water. Like I said, boys and puddles, don't bother trying.

Erika is the ultimate drip sand castle creator.

Do you suppose she knows how beautiful she is?

Here's to summer.

Bring it on!
