Sunny days and happy boys

This morning I woke up with a pep in my step!
I had been checking the weather forecast all week...and I knew it was supposed to be beautiful! I even woke up before my children!
I went out into the cool morning air (not too cool) and wsreredmmy garden!
The peace of the morning was unbelievable! There was a fresh dew on the grass...and an enchanting feeling that can only be felt as the birds are just beginning to chirp...and the smallest of creatures are just awakening!
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw what I thought was a butterfly...it only took me a second time realize it was a gorgeous hummingbird! I honestly had never seen one one in real life...and this one flew within arms reach of me. I could see the cocos emerald and crimson coloring...and just as quickly as it had arrived...it flew up and over the house! I took this as a sign though...that today would be a beautiful day...and it was!

As soon as the boys woke up, we got ready to play outside! We did our usual “big bad wolf game” where I chase them...while calling them names such as bacon bit and pork chop! We played on the swing set for a little bit...but I was running low on fuel (energy) and the kids were getting a tad bored...so...we decided to head on down to the park (after a pit stop for coffee)

It was a perfect park day! There was just the right size crowd there! The boys found a couple other little kids to play with for a while. They had swings and slides and all kinds of climbing features!

There were several play areas that we went back and forth to. The best part for me however, was the nature trail! This park had just been revamped...and there were all kinds of flowers and animals! It was beautiful!
We brought bread to feed the ducks and geese. The boys really enjoyed that part! We also loved looking at the turtles and tadpoles in the pond!

The flowers were planted throughout the entire park. There was also a special designated area with a “garden”. It was sponsored by a local group to teach kids about pollination. It was actually really cool, and the boys loved looking at all the different colors and varieties of plants!

After hanging and and playing for a few hours...we came home, ate lunch, and napped! Sometimes playing hard and having fun can be exhausting!
