Warm Redefined

You may think of good play outside days in the 70's but not anymore. There is a children's book where all the mice store things up for the winter except for one who doesn't seem to be helping, but then when winter comes he is the one who remembers the sunny days and what it felt like to be warm. He warms everyone's hearts with his great stories of the summer.  I am attempting to store up as much summer as possible.  If winter feels long to me, think of what it will feel like for 2 little guys from the equator.

58 degrees F [that's 14.4 in C] is now warm enough to play at the park and go to the beach which is also at the park.  We played on the swings and slide and then headed down to the ocean where we all walked in the water with our shoes on of course [mom stayed mostly dry...] while we searched for treasures in the water, threw rocks, fished wild apples out of the stream and chased them down to the "big water" aka: ocean.  We walked across a log bridge, jumped off of big rocks and came home to have apples and cheese.  What a nice day!
