Short but Sweet Sunshine

This past Sunday, we FINALLY got some nice weather.  It has been so rainy and gloomy that I feel like I have moved back to the Pacific Northwest.  The weather is a reminder that not one of us are rainy weather people so if we are going to relocate anywhere, it had better be somewhere with more sunshine than Colorado.  Since Colorado is one of the sunniest states in the country, we probably aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
We kicked the day off with breakfast at Starbucks.  Starbucks goal is to be a customers third place.  Their first place being home, second place work and third place Starbucks.  Without a doubt, Starbucks is high on our list.  It's not often that we spend a morning at Starbucks.  Usually, we frequent the drive through.  For fun, we went for beverages of choice and breakfast sandwiches.  It was a fun treat for all of us.
The rest of the day was spent outside.  It was mostly cloudy in the morning, but it was warm enough to enjoy the day and soak up some sun when it did peak through.
Oliver was very much in need of some outside time and he had a great time playing with the neighbor kids.  This is Brady and Oliver getting ready to tear up the neighborhood on their bikes.  (No, Oliver's not wearing a helmet.  His parents need to buy him a new one to fit his big brain that our grew his old helmet.)
That afternoon, there was 30 minutes where Oliver and Kellan's naps over lapped.  I spent those 30 minutes working on the blog while my toes worked on a tan.  When Oliver got up, he wanted to read a few books before he headed back out into the sunshine.  When I uploaded the photos tonight, I discovered Keith had taken a couple of photos of us.  Ahh... what a nice guy!

The nice weather came and went and we have had rain most of the week.  The weekend is right around the corner and we're hoping for something a little less soggy.  Here's to hoping!
