Warm weather

Monday, holden didn't have school but Carrie did so we were free to do whatever we wanted. Well, not exactly, but you know. We planned on walking to the duck pond but the kids decided to be LAZY and to stay in their pjs and watch movies all day. So I told them I'd be in the backyard and they couldn't come out until they got dressed. Eventually they came out but were wearing JEANS AND LONG SLEEVE SHIRTS!! it felt like 90 degrees that day! They crazy. Obviously they didn't stay outside long because of their poor fashion choices. But I continued to read my book, listen to music, and work on my tan :)
Yesterday me and mackenna played outside all day. Well, first we watched a movie, THEN spent all day outside :) we stopped by the bank first on the way to the river, then fed geese some old bread. We walked along the river and went to the little beach. It was really quiet because all of the kids were back in school. It was a bit more cloudy and windy than Monday, but still really warm. I took a bunch of pictures and mackenna threw rocks into the water.
Oh! and also while I stayed home during holdens baseball game that everyone went to in the afternoon, I sat on the porch and read my book. I looked over at the graveyard for a moment saw something run between the headstones! A little animal that I assumed was a cat. But when I looked again....it was a BEAVER!!!! Or at least I think it was a beaver....anyway, I watched that thing for at least 20 minutes as it roamed around looking for things to eat and as it stopped to listen to its surroundings. And it would sprint like crazy when it thought something was approaching. Then....it STOOD UP ON ITS HIND LEGS and looked around, then continued on with its scavenger hunt for food. CUTEST THING EVER!!!!!!! I can't wait to see that little guy again and to hopefully get picture of him!! :)
Unfortunately all of the pictures I take on my camera in the near future won't be shared for a while since my computer doesn't work! Boo. So its phone pictures or nada!
Here are some from yesterday, at the beach on the river :)
