Family Fun: Getting a Little Fresh Air

One of the best parts about the warm sunny days when they hit in the middle of winter is the family can go outside and get some fresh air. Since it is the season of colds and sickness the fresh air is wonderful for everyone. We try to let the girls get some play time outside when the weather permits and we even join in on the fun. Whether it is pushing one of the girls on the swings or playing catch it is important that we spend some time relaxing together.

Thankful for the warm and sunny days in South Carolina as well as the opportunity to spend some extra time with my family! 🙂
Family Activities: Yard Clean Up Day
Karlie Kool Kat bringing down the compost and helping in the yard. Both girls are wonderful helpers (for the most part) when it comes to doing chores around the house and yard. Karlie picked out her “outdoor” outfit complete with her fancy hat. She cracks me up….peeking out from underneath her hat!
Brina Bee bringing down some drink refills! It is amazing how thirsty you can get when working out in the yard hauling branches.
The fire was too big and hot to cook over so Jake cooked up some yummy hot dogs for everyone to enjoy.
We have had some funky weather over the last several months in South Carolina. One afternoon we had a tree and several branches come down in the yard and our neighbor had one of his trees fall on the edge of his workshop. We gave away all the good fire burning wood to a local family for the winter since they had a wood burning stove. When all that wood was picked up we still had all the limbs down so it was decided to have a family yard clean up day. The girls helped pick up all the branches so we could burn them in the fire. As it got dark and cooled off we rounded out the night with marshmallows and hot chocolate around the fire. I love being able to work and rest together with my family. We got a lot done working in the yard that day!
