Making the most of it

On Tuesday afternoon, the weather was SO nice outside! Like 68 degrees and sunny. Great! I went to pick the kids up from school and we talked the whole way home about what a bummer it was that we couldn't go to the park (since I was just put on bedrest the day before). So I suggested that we take a blanket outside and that I could lay down while the kids and the dogs played in the backyard. Cameryn responded with, "You know what's even better than that?! A picnic!!"



And so we did. 

Cam and I packed a basket and a blanket, Carson got a tennis ball for the dogs and we headed outside to enjoy the day. It wasn't the park, but we had a blast!



 We looked at clouds...


 And checked out the fallen birdfeeder. 
"Dohs pesky squirrels!" - Carson


And rolled...


And wrestled...


And had a pretty good afternoon! Bedrest and all!

    1. I have no idea how you guys do it! This has been an extremely mild winter for us and I still think it's been too cold! I hope you guys have fun in Florida. It should feel almost tropical to you guys!
      Stay warm!
      XOXO,

    1. It's weird when you comment under my name, husband. And yes, it was definitely the squirrels.
