Summer has taken a long time to get here this year.  So I am soaking up any sunny day I can.  Today I put all my work aside, packed the kids in the car and headed to the ridge.  The kids did NOT want to go, but once they were there, they were like little mountain goats on the summer snow and hillsides.  We even saw a bear- I think- it was waaaay in the distance.  That made the kids day and we all agreed later that we had a good time.

Once we got home, Joe took the boys down to the dock with their new fishing poles.  The photos look a lot more docile than the actual experience (which involved both lines completely tangled, half of one pole taken apart and both kids briefly brought back to the house so my husband could curse and untangle by himself)

I will feel the sun and warmth and fun of this day long after I go to bed tonight.  A rare sunny warm day having fun with my family.  How wonderful is that.
