family walk

on the drive home from the airport i was thinking that it was such a shame that we had spent this warm (40s), sunny day inside.  so i called matt and told him that we were going for a walk when we got home.  and then i told the kids the game plan because we were going to have to be quick if we were going to get out and back before the sun went down.

happily, everyone hustled in for warmer coat, gloves and hats and then back out to get on their helmets and bike gear while i ran manning in for a clean diaper and to grab a blanket for the wagon.  and off we went!

we really can not wait for it to be warm enough to do this most days, but we enjoyed the time we had while we had it. 
when we got back home, the moon was a beautiful orange and very low in the sky.  i had to help the kids see it from the driveway between the trees.  madelyn and mason thought it was pretty neat but when i showed maddux he just said, "no".  he would not believe that the orange circle he was seeing was the moon.  that silly kid.
so thankful for some family fun outside.  love.

Nicer weather, and longer days to enjoy being outside... and your summer weather will be tolerable. Soak it up while you can!
