Last Sunday we all got up early and out the door to do our first real hike in quite awhile. We did about 5 miles to one of our favorite hikes, Wallace Falls. The kids did a great job, the scenery did not disappoint and the weather was perfect. It felt great to get back to hiking and we can't wait to do more of it this season.
It's Little League season and between Addy's Minor's season and Cameron's eighty-niners season I swear we are at the ball fields 5 days a week. It's awesome to have this back in our schedule after missing last year. Both Brian and I are helping to coach and the kids are doing a great job. Both teams have kids pitch, but no walks so it's the best of both worlds (coaches pitch after 4 balls). Both kids have been getting to pitch which has been really fun and with the amazing weather we've been having we haven't had hardly any games in the rain. Addy's team is the Blue Bombers and Cameron is on the Cardinals.
We've had an unseasonably warm spring and last month I was able to combine work with play as I met my boss at a park for a meeting and the kids played on the beach. It felt like summer and it was incredible. The kids had an awesome time playing on the beach and it was the best work meeting I had all week. Work and school from home does have it's advantages.
The kids have been making mandala's at school so I suggested they use some of their leftover candy to make more (I know it's not the same but oh well). I think it's the best use of candy I've seen! They made beautiful art and then we threw it out! No complaining, no belly aches, no sugar highs. Best art project of the year!
