Sunny Day

Like all of Missouri, last week we got out and enjoyed the first sunny day after our frigid late winter spell. The big kids had to go to school, but James said his class got to do reading outside. The dog enjoyed himself, too: 

Here's little miss sunshine. You can see there was still some snow!

And ice on the pond behind her: 

I'd actually never been to the Forum nature area before, even though it's so close to the house. It was quite muddy.
