Like a summers day . . .

I'm not exactly sure where that saying comes from, but it was definitely applicable yesterday. It was so warm that we were actually able to stand being outside enough to get the bikes out and play for a little bit. The kids were thrilled to get out of the house.

We even went for a walk around the neighborhood! (something we used to do all the time on the warm summer evenings)

We had such a wonderful spring and summer last year, we are just dying for it to warm up. We miss the warm evenings when we would sit outside and visit with our neighbors as they came home from work. The kids would play on their bikes, jump on the tramp, have water fights, etc.

I'm also excited because my kids are older and I think they will be a little easier this summer. Ayden understands about crossing the street and watching for cars. Sophie can walk/run now so she will be able to keep up with the other kids.

So the Hammers are officially ready for winter to end and spring to begin. We are ready for picnics, playing at the park, setting up the pool, water fights, late nights, working in the yard, and all the other wonderful things that warm weather brings!
