Our Sunny Sunday

Today was just... beautiful. Perfect and glorious.

The sky was an amazing clear blue, the sun was shining and it was cool... but not cold. Perfect for a t-shirt with a sweatshirt.

By the time I drug my sleepy self out of bed (with a cup of coffee brought to me by my hubby) everyone else in the house was up and going. Katya went to yoga and Bob was itching for a walk so I threw together a picnic lunch, grabbed the dogs and we all headed out to Tumalo for some exploring.

We went to the same spot that Bob had taken Katya for lesson 1 on driving a stick shift. The road was closed, so we had an awesome flat road to walk on with the kids. We meandered on the road until it almost reached the reservoir and then we headed back. Bob estimates that it was about a mile out and a mile back. Awesome first hike with the short ones! They did great! The dogs were so happy to go out and get some exploring in too.

Right about the time we got back to the truck they were famished so we enjoyed a lovely meal of sandwiches, apples, pickles and chips before we pulled out the bikes and let the kids go at it. It didn't work quite as well as we had hoped in the dirt. Once the frustration level got too high we packed it in.

I thought they would be exhausted and ready for a nap but nope... they wanted the park. So off to the park we went! They played for another two hours before they really were fried and we headed home for a rest.

Awesome day, glorious weather, wonderful kids, patient husband... a fabulous way to spend a Sunday.
