A Sweet Time

I stepped outside to get the mail today and couldn't believe that the sun was shining and it was as warm as could be. This year has been so cold and rainy I just had to take the opportunity to get my little ladies out of the house for another day of fun filled memories. So, I packed us up a picnic lunch and we went to the park. Riley couldn't wait to get there to eat so she had 1/4 of a sandwich before we even left the house! Too exciting... The people walking by, were filled with smiles and comments on what a great day it was for a picnic. That made me feel even better that I wasn't home trying to keep warm in my robe layered over normal clothes and slippers.
It was just a perfect couple of hours. The girls were happy. I was happy. The sun was shining. Ahhhh...


Cailen had a great time covering Ri in leaves, fortunately, she didn't seem to mind.
The girls have had so much fun lately with their butterfly (Riley calls them: "pudd-eye") wings and ballet ("spinning")skirts, I thought I'd bring the wings and let them roam in the open air.


They'll thank me when they are 25!


**For anyone reading this (like my mom) I just want you to know I was hanging on to the girls while taking the pics of them leaning toward the water ;) **

They had fun throwing leaves and moss in the water, Cailen found a stick and pretended to go fishing, Ri yelled out in excitement every time she saw a doggie and I just loved watching my little girls grow up as best friends right before my eyes.
