We Dreamed it was Spring

Monday, 1-18-10

WOW! What a wonderful Winter day in Seattle....SUNNY and 59!!

Just after 9am we finally noticed, hey it's not raining and it is actually really nice outside. :-) I thought I had seen rain in the forecast all week, so I didn't think it would last long.

The kids hit the sand (mud) box first.

Then some time in the fort.

It is nice that it seems "new" each Spring.

And POPSICLEs!
They were so excited for this Summer treat.

Zach loves to swing!

And of course Elissa has to have a picnic.

The weather just kept getting better, so we decided to go on a treasure hunt.
You never know what you will find at the beach.

Holding up the bridge!
Elissa had the idea to turn over her treasure basket so Zach could reach the beam.

We find mainly.....MUD!

Zach is stuck.....

Mommy's coming to get him.

Cleaning off.....well, really just splashing in the water. Cleaning off is a good side benefit. :-)

Always pushing their boundaries at how far out they can go.

We are pooped! Time to head home and have naps!!

These days always remind me why we live in the Northwest and out in the boonies (relatively).

So beautiful and serene!!
