A day off from school

Last week the kids had a day off from school. We decided to go to a spot that we haven't been to in a while. We also invited Melisa to come play with us. The sun was warm and we brought snacks and drinks. We spent a few hours in this magnificent spot. Swinging from the rope, sledding down the dune, laying in the sun, rolling down the dune and then laying in the sand. I couldn't think of a better way to spend the day and such a treat to have Melisa join us too. I couldn't help but to think of Collin Mitchell in Utah; April had told me that Collin takes the sled down the street to a park to play at "the pit" in the snow and that he loved sledding and building jumps in the snow. That is just what Ruben did too, built jumps and loved riding down the hill in sand on his sled. Parallel worlds in a whole different climate. I sure miss that family.
