Soakin' Up The Sun...In February?


The sun has returned to Iowa with a vengeance. Tuesday it was 50 degrees and most of our snow had melted. (Our giant snowman that was taller than Ben melted to a one foot stub!) The kids were thrilled to be able to play outside again without risk of hypothermia :)
Wednesday was even warmer, it got up to 60 degrees, so we decided it was a good day to go to the zoo. Cole was thrilled to be back and Ellie was enthralled with the animals. I can't wait until all of the animals are back outside. If this weather sticks it should be pretty soon!
Today we made it to a balmy 70 degrees! We didn't even need jackets. It was a beautiful spring day...in February? We'll take what we can get! I am loving the sunshine and the kids are loving being able to run around outside again.

We went to the playground for the first time in 3 months. Ellie was a muddy mess by the time we were through but it was worth it! I really hope this weather sticks!!
