simple is beautiful

It seems that it is the simplest of things that bring us the most joy.  The boys and I are happiest when we are outside together.  There is a trail in south Boulder (about 10 minutes away) that is mostly flat, and beautiful.  We love to go out there and play!  The boys ride their bikes and I run with them.  We usually go out about 1.5 miles, then we stop at a beautiful stream and throw rocks and "fish" with sticks and mess around.  It is a perfect activity.  Sunshine, fresh air, space and quiet, exercise, and of course uninterrupted time together.  It sounds particularly nice on this cold snowy day!
 
Here are some phone pictures from a couple of times out there.
 




My mom has joined us a few times, too.






It always makes me want to give away most of our toys and move to a house with some land...

Just think of when Austin will have pedals on his bike. I have a feeling that boy will go forever.

Beautiful pictures. And nice write-up too.
