Hello Weather

The beautiful weather has prompted outdoor adventuring.  I love Colorado more and more each year.  Yes, the winter can be cold, but the roads are always taken care of by the state.  The snow is beautiful every time it falls.  And 35 degrees isn’t really that cold, a sweater and gloves is all you need to break the chill.  So when the sun is shining and we hit upper 40’s and 50’s it’s time to break out the tee shirts.  The boys have been enjoying the backyard while the sun shines, chasing the puppies and jumping on the trampoline.  One morning we went on a neighborhood hike and walked to a nearby field, crossing over a wall of rocks and through a large drainage ditch.  I mean really, walking through a drainage ditch, what an adventure!  Plus as we investigated the field, Case came upon a fuzzy black caterpillar.  Then he found another.  And another.  And another.  2 hours later we had found a million fuzzy black caterpillars.  We were watching our every step, because they were everywhere we walked!  For a bunch of nature loving boys, it really was an exciting sight to be seen.  Spring is still 3 months away for Colorado, but our family has enjoyed the beautiful break from winter.
