But we got a sneak peek today! We've been craving a day over 40 degrees for a really, really long time, and today it shot clear up to 52! It was cloudy but that did not matter today. The kids went outside and tossed the ball around. There is still a tiny bit of snow on the ground in our yard, but most of it is gone (hopefully for the duration of our stay!).
I put the laundry out on the balconies to dry. We have had the laundry drying on racks in the house since about November. It was so nice to have it outside for a while!
It is back inside now because it looks like it could rain at any moment. But it was nice to have those things out of the way at least for a bit.
We did very little school work today, played hooky and went to the beach for a while. There was a tractor on the beach leveling the mounds of sand.
Ben and Natalie kicked the soccer ball around. Natalie spent a lot of time practicing her soccer juggling. It has been a long time since she has been able to have her foot on the ball and she has been missing it.
Abbie found a bottle in the water. She and Natalie tried to get it but it was too far out. It is way too cold to venture into the water, even if we suspect there might be a note in the bottle (as Abbie did). Someone else will have to get the message this time. Trey played in the sand and came home very dirty!
We were only there for an hour or so, but it is a favorite activity of all of us. If we want to go to the beach at home, major planning and traveling are involved to somehow get us to a coast. Here we can just go for an hour and enjoy the scenery. Everyone was thrilled to be able to ditch their coats this afternoon.
