Fresh Air

So far, this weekend has been one of sickness.  The kids are sniffling, coughing, and sneezing.  The grownups are behaving in a similar fashion.  So what do you think we did with ourselves?







That's right.  We're a bunch of crazies that decided to go out and get some fresh air at the Mercer Botanical Gardens.  Originally, we set out to go on a Bird Walk which started around 8:30am.  Yeah right.  That didn't happen.  But we did manage to make it there for 9:30 and we brought our binoculars just in case.

It was so nice to be outside.  The sun was warm.  The shade was on the warmer side of cold.  The sky was clear.  Hardly any birds in sight.  The kids loved running around the paved walkways.  We enjoyed watching them in their silly ways.  

All in all it was better than sitting at home and wiping noses.  Instead we got there and enjoyed nature, while wiping noses.  I hope that you and yours are happy and healthy!
