when you chase a sea of ducks

this january has been so very warm.   this day that i took the kids to nancy lewis park had to be darn close to 70 degrees.

i let the girls chase a sea of ducks across the big grassy field.

what fun.

and then i wondered if this was frowned upon park behavior,  like i was going to get a lecture from someone about animal cruelty and such.

but i just kept letting them, because it was so darn fun and cute and there is just something about seeing your child run across a field in the fresh air on a sunny day.

it's so easy to love snow in colorado, because we always get these sneak peeks of spring in between storms.

the girls have been playing outside almost daily for the last two weeks. i love getting fresh air in their lungs and vitamin d soaked into their skin.

it makes me feel like a good mom when they play outside.
weird but true. :)
