It's been hard to tell what season it's been in Utah, lately. Today had bits of three. The morning was spent inside painting (will put that post up tomorrow) while rain and occasional flecks of white snow fell outside. Winter white, go away! Brrr.But, finally the sun broke through the clouds and made for a pleasant afternoon. Losing Paige from view for a few moments, I found her outside. Not just outside with toes dipped in Spring puddles. This girl decided sunshine warranted full swimsuit. A few inches of rainwater in the sitting wagon can make a swimming hole, right. (Good thing she's got her floatie! Wants the full effect in those dangerous depths, I guess!)
Brother, of course, was quick to follow suit. Splashing! Thankfully not diving right in.
That was, at least, until he spotted just what he wanted access to:
...the watering hole in the back of his fourwheeler! SPRING for sure!
But, then I found us ending the night with a common Summer activity. The girls have been begging to know when we could make smores again. So, with the day's rain showers past and needed things in the cupboard, we pulled out the firepit! The girls started with a stick independently in hand.
...until Paige realized "it's still white."
Then Matt's expertise was asked for. Quick and golden brown! (Meg kept a hold of hers for a bit longer because she claimed she wanted "something to make and be proud of.")
Happy faces tell it all.
Although my eating face remains behind the lens, you can imagine how heavenly this was smooshed between chocolate and crackers. Ahhh!
Though windy and still certainly a wet Spring, it was good. I'll remember this treat that we snuck in after today's showers...and before tomorrow's. (Who's up for some with us when things really warm up?)
