FINALLY!!

Today we FINALLY had some beautiful spring weather. We were outside for several hours this afternoon. After riding bikes and playing soccer, the kids went on a bug hunt. Benson got a bug net, a bug house, and a magnifying glass for his birthday and has been dying to find some bugs to keep as pets. Today was the first day that we've actually seen bugs outside.

It was nice that they each got a piece of equipment for the hunt and there was NO fighting over who got what...amazing!

Hovering over their first find, an ant hill

When that got boring they were pretending to fix their "car" which was actually the picnic table on the patio. They were laying down underneath it, using Benson's play tools. Benson kept asking the girls for the open-ended socket wrench.




To illustrate our frustration with the weather, here are the high temps for the next several days:
Thu - 82, Fri - 59, Sat - 70, Sun - 55 and RAIN
CAN WE NOT JUST MAKE UP OUR MIND?!?!

Jessica....I know EXACTLY how you feel. Now we're down in St. George and the 60 degree weather feels freezing!

Your kids are so cute...we've been hunting for bugs here with a bug kit from grandma...one rolly polly...that's all we got!

How cute! Looks like they had a great time.

Will you ask your dad if he knows a Brian Little? He works for Phillips in B-Ville and I think he goes to your family's church. His niece is my student teacher...
