Fun in the Sun and Rain
Wow, it is finally nice to have a "normal" spring time in Texas. The flowers are in bloom (has anyone noticed the roses? They are just beautiful.), there is an ongoing buzz of lawn equipment and some days have brought a late afternoon rain shower. Just as it should be!
A recent rainy afternoon, we got out the boats and had boat races down the alley. The water was rushing pretty fast and made for some exciting racing. Today, the boys broke in their new swimming pool and had tons of fun. Jumping, sliding, golfing (is this a pool activity? It is in our pool), splashing and a little bit of shivering went on today.
We have noticed an abundance of butterflies in our yard this year. Have you? They also are quite beautiful and have captured the eye of the dog. Gracie captured one yesterday and the boys rescued it in with their bug net and put it in their bug jar. Today, while the kids were swimming, Gracie snuck off with the bug jar, opened it and waited patiently for the butterfly to emerge. I didn't have the heart to tell her or the boys that it died a very hot death yesterday trapped in the bug jar.
We hope you are enjoying this spring weather as much as we are. Happy Spring!!!
