We took the kids to an indoor play place and had lunch, and then returned home for some backyard fun in the sprinklers.  I grilled steaks for dinner and my wife served up a homemade peanut butter pie for dessert.  It was a great way to finish off the day.

The kids spotted a new bird’s nest on our backporch with fresh eggs.  It seemed fitting since we had baby birds hatch on Mother’s Day just in front or our windows.  It provided a great view for the kids to watch Momma bird feed her babies, and daddy bird guard the nest.  I hope they make it an annual tradition.

Back to work tomorrow (and back to reality).  Hope everyone has a great week!
