sunday drive

things I love about a sunday afternoon:

playing games with my boys

taking a nap

reading a good book

sitting outside and the whole neighborhood is out (usually reserved for summer)

eating delicious dinners cooked by someone other than me

hanging out with our big families

taking a walk

watching movies

&

going on a Sunday drive

Last Sunday we decided to drive out to see if the lake had melted. (It had.) Elliott was a little bummed because he wanted to walk on the ice, but was instantly happy when he started throwing rocks in. One thing's for sure- boys never get sick of throwing rocks in water.

I feel a little spoiled that we live so close to this beauty, but the weird thing is that in the off season nobody else is ever there! What?! People are missing out.

sunday picnic

 Daylight savings always does something to me- it stays lighter longer and puts me in a better mood. I guess I'm a light lover. So I sat in church the day we turned our clocks forward and thought about picnicking in the park. After church we headed to our favorite Draper park with loads of trails and playgrounds to eat our sandwiches and cheetos.

 Adam with the giant frisbee, Linc on his bike, Elliott and Ollie on their scooters. We searched for a place to lay our blanket, but the grass was wet. And the wind started to blow. And it was freezing. I guess we missed the warm hours getting out of church at 4:00.

 But we huddled on our tiny blanket (note to self we're a family of 5 now...) and ate our thrown together dinner on a semi-dry piece of grass. Homemade sandwiches always taste better out of the house I've decided. Then the boys played like crazy until I made us go.

I sure love a Sunday picnic with my family. I'm looking forward to many more... when it warms up just a bit.
