a winter evening

on

It was such a pretty day yesterday that even though it was nearing sunset, I told the girls I would take them to the park.

They were a little eager. Can you tell the weather hasn't been nice enough for a trip to the park in awhile?



Here's Beth, being amazed by the mad swinging skills of some older kids at the park.





Here's Lucy. Being beautiful.





I tried to take pictures of Evie, because I felt that she was being left out of this family photo opportunity. This was hard, because she was in the backpack strapped to my back. It's not easy to take a good picture of someone who is behind your back.







As you can see, the light was fading, so we had to head home.

The sky was at that perfect stage where it changes color minute by minute.



And we made a wish on a star on the way home.



(you might have to click on the picture for a bigger image to see the little star just peeking out at the top...but it's there.)

We went to the park yesterday too, it was a beautiful day! As it starts to warm up we will have to meet up and burn the kids out running around and such. Make for an easier bedtime!

What a nice outing. I love little nature treasures like that.

We are suppose to have some better weather this week so hopefully we can get out too.

How beautiful. We rarely get outside in winter, because it's just too cold for me. My poor boys.

You've inspired me. When some of this snow melts, we'll have to get outstide.
