sunny days

2/6/13

We are not much of a Super Bowl family.  In fact, I don't even think I saw a single play on Sunday.  Instead we took advantage of our beautiful 70 degree weather and headed outdoors to do a little yard work and watch the grand kids play.


I am always amazed at how easily they can entertain themselves outside.  They took turns spying out ants and squirting them to death with a little plastic squirt bottle.


I love the intensity on Emily's face here.  I don't know exactly what she saw but she sure was focused on it.



And little people feet in flip-flops?  Adorable...



Any outdoor questions are best taken to the one who knows everything...grandpa.


I wish we could just capture days like this in a bottle to pull out when the skies of life turn grey.


Given the clouds we've had the last few days and the promise of rain on Friday, I am so glad we headed outside.  There will be another Super Bowl but who knows how many days like this we'll have.  Given the choice, I would much rather watch my grand kids exploring on a sunny day anytime.

xo, Patty

    It was so gorgeous that day. Your yard is looking good back there. You just need a coop.

    Isn't it just amazing to see things as children see them? They see things so simple and entertaining. And I love those little precious feet in flip flops!! (I still call them thongs and my older grandchildren just shriek!!).

    I have to agree with you.. It's days like this that make everything we go through in life worth it.. I would have skipped the superbowl as well.. Times like these are priceless.
