One of those days...

Today was one of those days with moments that just felt right. I had two of my friends kids for the day, and we spent every second outside in the warm sun. We spent hours jumping on the trampoline, playing in the sprinklers and with the hose, and going on a deer hunt. All the kids got dirty, wet, lots of sun, and lots of exercise! When Jakey was down for a nap I even got a chance to lounge in the sun with a strawberry lemonade while the older boys attacked eachother with the hose. When we were on the trampoline with just three of the older boys in the afternoon, two deer came right up by us and spent about an hour eating around us as we played. There were four large birds that were flying above us, and we had some good conversations. Noah said it was a blessed day, and one of the other boys said, "Yes, God has really blessed our day." So sweet to hear our boys and their friends say things like that. After spending a day like that outside, plus vbs in the evening and Andrew's semi-finals softball game, the boys haven't made a peep since we put them down. Ahhh....
