Sunshine!!!!

Its about this time of year when I start to think I'm done with winter and waking up to single digit temps. I need to feel some sunshine!!!
Luckily for us that means we drive South until we feel the sun. Usually not more then an hour and a half and we can be 50 degrees warmer.
We had a WONDERFUL Sunday just playing outside finding things to do as we went along.
We had lunch in Mesquite and the boys got to play some arcade games.
We wandered around soaking up the sun. We went to our favorite stop to feed ducks and geese.
Its the perfect time of year to hike around Virgin River Gorge. Its so pretty in its own way. Kolby had a blast pretending he was on the beach. He tried to bury himself in sand.
There are just enough rocks for the boys to be able to climb to their hearts content.

And a river with unlimited supplies of rocks for throwing in / skipping. We all took turns being "the leader" finding new trails along the river. Kolby is a wild man he is hard to keep up with the way he can scramble over the rocks.


At dinner we asked Luke what his favorite part of the day had been. He said "finding sticks and rocks by the river". Its funny you just never know what is going to fascinate a child.
Happy Ground Hogs day!!!
