Monday is usually a catch up day for our family: running errands, cleaning up the house, finishing laundry, prepping for the rest of the week. Yesterday was beautiful though, and I couldn't bear just doing the mundane day-to-day things as usual, so we stayed busy all day enjoying the great outdoors! We did run to Walmart first thing for milk, (if you know my son, he drinks a gallon every two days!), but on the way we stopped at a small park to play and check out the river running close by. Then we came home and played outside for quite awhile. After lunch, we decided to go on another outing to Tanyard Creek, which is a nature trail in Bella Vista. It was gorgeous and green, the kids enjoyed putting their feet in the water and reading about the plants we saw along way. They also enjoyed the waterfall we hiked up to, although the hike back to the truck was a LONG one. We still had not had enough so we went for a bike ride in our neighborhood after dinner, and then enjoyed popsicles before heading in for baths and bed. The popsicles, and I think the down-time, were enjoyed by all, as can be found in the picture. (And the helmet is still a fashion statement, even when we are not riding bikes!)

Sounds like your monday was as nice as ours. we also got sticky with flavor-ice, played with sidewalk chalk and practiced our team skills with soccer and baseball.
Landon- I love the helmet. And mama, that is something to treasure and never throw away. Maddox carried a Blue's clues paw print memory game card everywhere under the sun, and sitll sometimes does. I'll never throw that card away. Precious memories...
