We had such a wonderful day today. We slept in late (it is our weekend), and woke up feeling refreshed.

 Lee had something to do in town, so I made meatloaf and put it in the fridge for dinner and then peeled and cut up the potatoes and put in pans of water to be boiled for mashed potatoes. The children played outside, and I watched them out the window while in the kitchen. We had beautiful sun and warm winter weather, the sun shining in all the windows was beckoning us to the outdoors. 

When Lee got home we had lunch, got everyone presentable and headed to a local park. We visted the duck pond, watched ice skaters skate on the outdoor rink, and played and played on the playground!

As the sun ducked down behind the mountain, it became quite nippy but this didn't stop the children. Silly Zachary doesn't like to play at playgrounds, not even with Daddy and Mommy right by his side. He chose to sit in the stoller and watch for most of the time!

 I took him for a walk in the stroller for some different scenery up the path a ways. Oh how I enjoyed this walk. Walking on the path through the trees with the creek just below us. The fresh Pacific Northwest cool air in my lungs. I felt more alive than I have in a long time! Oh, it's good to be home in the West!

We have always wanted to visit that part of the country. It sounds just beautiful.
