Gorgeous Spring Day

Today we had gorgeous spring weather with highs in the mid 60's.  It was amazing.  The kids spent almost the entire day outside.  They took a walk down to the pond in our neighborhood to look at the ducks with Daddy.  They also were invited by some neighbor kids to play in the woods.  Carter, Ava, Dawson and Daddy spent lots of time playing with these kids.  Apparently there was a stick fighting contest, although the kids weren't actually fighting each other, just showing off their awesome moves.  Our little two year old Ava was declared the winner by a group of 6 and 7 year old boys!  That is hilarious to me!  But she really does have some amazing moves.  As the winner of the stick fighting contest she was declared the boss of the day, a title that suites Ava well.  I can imagine it was wonderful soaking up a little vitamin D and fresh air.  Of course it was my luck that I was in the house all day with a nasty stomach virus.  I didn't even get off the couch until after four o'clock.  Luckily the rest of this week should be equally beautiful, so I should be able to enjoy it.  I'm praying and crossing my fingers that no one else gets sick.
