These pictures were taken on Saturday when we decided to take advantage of the unseasonably warm and beautiful day by driving out to the South Platte River near our home. We are constantly amazed at how beautiful it is here in Colorado and are so thankful that within half an hours drive we can enjoy such incredible beauty. Elijah insisted upon wearing his Superman costume as he said we were going on an adventure (I think that the socks over the legging parts are supposed make his shoes more bootlike). He found a little "fishing rod" sans the hook- aka a stick with some line and a rock tied to the end- and enjoyed some impromptu fishing in the river as well as a large puddle. Noah took to trying to skip rocks and explore the river's edge. Eliana was fascinated by the gravel and the snow... we aim to impress. Milan and I were just enjoying the weather as we knew something wicked this way was coming.
On Sunday, the day after our lovely expedition, our little town was under a Winter Storm Warning and we even cancelled our church service due to the blowing snow and icy road conditions. Welcome to Colorado. When we moved here, people said, "If you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes." It has proved to be pretty accurate.
There are also a few pictures here of Eliana. She picked up Noah's recorder today and actually started blowing on it and making sound. She had just been watching him and figured out how to do it. She also loves to play the piano. She plays one note at a time and really listens intently to the sound. I figured I better snap a few shots now as she will probably be a world-famous musician someday.
Anyway, I am off to start wrapping up from the day. Enjoy the pix!
