The great outdoors!

Sunday we loaded up and headed to the creek to cut some firewood in preparation for what we fear may be a very cold winter. Not only is it a great workout, but the boys love being outside being "boys." As you can see, the boys were checking out the creek, I think already making plans to swim once summer rolls around again. Colby would have really liked to have gotten into the water Sunday, but amazingly, I was able to talk him out of it! Being out in nature and seeing how pretty and serene it can be, got me thinking about a future project. I would like to build a fire pit and simple shelter in the general vicinity of the creek and the pond we fish at. I can already envision the boys as teenagers camping there in the summer. I think that will have to wait for spring now though! I have also added a new picture of the puppies. I think they have at least doubled in size in one week!
