A Spring Day in February

The sun shone bright through our windows this morning bright and early at seven am! This is exciting because we are slowly but surely gaining more and more light each day as we approach summer. 
Paper snowflakes are still up in several windows of the house, and with the sun shining through, it seemed like winter was really over...
But all it took was a glance at the weather report for next week to see that snow was coming. The family has given up hope for the skiing season this year, and with the early morning sunshine we all found ourselves hoping that Spring was finally on its way. 

It may not be coming just yet with snow being forecasted, but at least for today it felt like Spring, and we were going to enjoy it!

Sunshine streams through the windows of the pantry.


Quinn brought a chair into the kitchen to sit in the sun during a lull in the practicing schedule. 



It was hard to stay focused on practice when the sunshine seemed to be calling our names...
So as soon as our lunch break came around, we were out the door in search of the prettiest, warmest, patch of sunshine!

Abby, Quinn and I all piled in the car and headed out North Douglas to the beach. We knew the sunshine would be warm, the wind would smell of the sea, and the mountains would be beautiful against the blue ocean and sky.                                                                                       But first we had to get there! And there was a board walk in the way. A board walk that was still very icy and slippery in places where the sun had not yet reached them. 

It was colder then we liked in the shade, so we were thrilled when we finally came to the open beach.

Quinn quickly whipped out a sword and started climbing cliffs in search for the perfect vantage point, while Abigail found a nice flat spot in the rocks to sit and soak up the sun.
                                                          












It was true, the day was gorgeous! But all too soon it was time to go back and continue practicing. 
Oh well, at least we enjoyed it while we could!
