Spring? Break

 Last week we went from this

  to this

 But despite the fact that it was called "spring break",

 we headed up into the mountains

for some family time.

Don't let the blue sky fool you.

 Next to the fireplace was the best place for coloring.

Someone had to wait for lunch.

It's hard to catch snowflakes on your tongue.

The snow didn't seem to dampen our fun.

Spending time with family 

is worth every second.

Of course, we know there are many families
today suffering after yesterday's attacks.
My thoughts and prayers are with
those families today and
the sorrow they are feeling.

Until Next Time-

Spring Break

Even though I know longer

have kids attending school,

and don't live according to the school calendar anymore,

I still love the thought of a "spring break".

My daughter, who is an elementary teacher,

still knows the need to get away just for a few days

to refresh the spirit.

So along with her family

 and

 

 Running Man and myself

 have been enjoying the snow softly falling

at the YMCA Camp of the Rockies

located in beautiful 

Estes Park, Colorado.

We've rested,

relaxed,

watched for animals,

even touched a few,

gazed into the fire

and reflected on life

and the importance of family

while toasting a few marshmallows

to keep our energy level up.

When it was time to return home

we all knew

it had been a lovely "spring break".

 
 Until Next Time-
