today was kevin's last day of vacation :( we wanted to get out and do something together as a family, but by the time gavin awakened from his nap and the kids had something to eat, it was past 4:00pm. kevin was trying to get everyone excited about going to a park and soaking up some of the last rays of sunshine of the day (and maybe the week!), but neither of the kids were cooperating. it didn't seem like they were very interested in leaving the house so getting them dressed to go out in the cold and the snow was a big challenge. i was almost ready to throw in the towel, but kevin persevered. turned out that kevin knew just what we all needed :) the kids were so happy to be on the playground - climbing, sliding, running. then we took a walk into the field to watch a dog play catch with his owner. the kids decided it was a good opportunity to take part in their favorite activity - eating snow! crazy kids love it. it took about 2 minutes for their little hands to be frozen, and then they were whining to go home. i'm so happy that kevin got us out of the house, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful outdoors on a day when we might have otherwise stayed inside. oh, and don't you just love the adorable hats we bought at the college hill coffee co. while in cincinnati!
