Enjoying Nature

Well, we finally got a some nice weather. The weather has been a little wonky this year and this week we went from a high of 24 degrees celcius on Monday (after a cold and rainy weekend) to a low of -5 on Tuesday morning. It stayed cold the remainder of the week, but the sun came out today!

Jordan was working so the kids and I were on our own. They slept in--which means we woke up at 7am--and I let them crawl in bed with me to watch some Treehouse TV. This bought me another half hour of being lazy and then we got out of bed so I could make them pancakes!

After cleaning up from breakfast, we packed up and headed out to Moonlight Beach. There is a beautiful trail system there and I thought it might be nice for the kids and I to take Mischa for a walk.

The kids had a blast playing around and checking out "all the beautiful nature", as Zachary calls it. Zachary took along the camera that his Grandma and Grandpa Guenard bought him and seemed very focused on taking pictures of signs. (Yes Isaac, the Tesla song ran through my mind the whole time)

Not bad for a 5 year old! I think he shows some promise. It was nice to get out of the house and I know the kids enjoyed not being cooped up all day.

I got the chance to take some nice pictures of the kids as well, something I don't do nearly as often as I should. I can't believe how quickly they grow!

After we returned home the kids and the dog ran around the backyard and tired themselves out nicely. It was a great way to spend the day.

As I write this, I am sitting in the backyard on my beautiful swing, watching Jordan and the kids assemble the play structure we got. We are working on having the most entertaining backyard this summer. At least I knonw as my kids get older that our yard will be the cool place to hang out!

So how did you spend your weekend?
