Could it be that Winter has finally released it’s death grip on Colorado? Bony cold fingers or not, it’s been kinda warm around here over the past week, and as true sun chasers we had to take advantage.

Hooray for sandals…even if they are last years’ model and your toes hang off the edge…

Brinley isn’t much for physical challenges. It was too much of a challenge to put her helmet on right. The slightest incline will send her into a fit of rage the moment her speed decreases by half a knot.

Fortunately when the going gets tough Brinley has a brother that’s more than willing to give her a shove. I see a two-wheeled vehicle in her near future.

That’s enough calisthenics for one day, on to the fine arts department. At 6 years old Drew is what we call a “Driveway Muralist Expert,” shown here equipped with his fancy paint sprayer that he got for his birthday.

Sharing is caring. Even though it’s Drew’s toy Brinley is allowed to put her paws on it from time to time. If only it went both ways…

Woke up the next day expecting the worst. But much to our surprise it was another yesterday outside. Back to the streets!

It started to look like it would get chilly or windy before long, so I put Rowan in her snowsuit to keep her warm and block the wind. She ended up looking silly and sweaty instead.

Slipper-wearing CSI Brinley created more crime scenes in the driveway.

Drew took a break from scooting to remind the world of the order of letters.

Yet another day passed. But on this day there was a little chill in the air. No matter, we proceeded with haste directly to the park.

Brinley took some flying lessons.

There’s no better way to finish out the day than by throwing balls over the fence with the neighbors. (It’s possible that Brinley is wearing Drew’s jeans in this picture. I can’t imagine why, I’m always on top of the laundry…always.)

Rowan would disagree however, as she enjoyed a nice hot soak in the sink.
