February Sun and Fun

We've been enjoying all the sunshine that's come our way these last couple of weeks.  We are supposed to get some rain next week, but are so thankful for the warmth and sun we have had!  Its a nice break in between the gray rainy days.  
We've had fun getting outside for walks, jumping on the trampoline, and even having a picnic lunch.  As for inside fun . . . we bought the kids a little tikes basketball hoop so we could work on our bball skills.  So far they've had more fun playing with the box!  
They used it as a train, as a fort, and the list goes on.  I finally recycled it because I was starting to find bits and pieces of it around the house.

Tetherball and Playground Time

Saturday was an exceptionally beautiful winter day in Cathlamet.  The sun warmed things up a little so we decided to get out of the house for a while.  Byron, Becca, and Owen were visiting for the weekend and they came with us to the school playground.  
 That's Owen trying his hand at tetherball.

The kids had a grand time playing on the play structures.  Ryan and Byron faced off in a couple games of tetherball.  There seemed to be a general consensus that tetherball wasn't as easy as they remembered it being!

Light at the End of the Tunnel

Mom and Dad have been living for 2 years now in a travel trailer on their property.  They are now seeing the light at the end of that tunnel!  Half of their house was delivered yesterday and today the other half came!  How exciting for them!  Mom can't stop smiling!  
Rylan and Lila braved the cold and mist (not for very long) to watch the men working on Grandma and Grandpa's new house. 
 Pretty exciting stuff!
