The Land of Constant Sun

This past weekend was a four day weekend for our school kids so we decided to pack our bags and head south to warmer places. Sometimes it isn't until something is missing that I truly appreciate what a blessing it is....that something that has been missing lately: the sun and the fun that we have playing outside in it. This land down south has all kinds of sun! No one ever told this place about winter and as a result it is always warm. So, you ask, what did we do in the sun? Let me show you!





We played outside without coats on, with our cousins and their toys.




We went on a hike and saw these sights.






We went on a hunting excursion with our fellow wildlife seekers.



I went running outside twice, in shorts, in the shadows of the calming red rocks...awesome scenery and fantastic running/biking trails.





We used our mighty muscles and pushed this rock...



into this canyon.







We climbed this rock....





and this one too.







We soaked up the sun, the red dirt, and the fun. It is nice to be home, but this morning was frigid and foggy...it is great to have our sunny memories to keep us warm.
