Today was brought to you by the letter "S"

Sunshine and swinging, scholastics and singing - today had all of the makings of a movie; perhaps The Sound of Music, Part Two?...minus five extra kids and millions of dollars, and there's also the fact that my husband is a plumber not a Naval officer, and I am certainly no ex-Catholic nun with a killer voice, and there are no mountains (much less the Swiss Alps) out here in western Oklahoma; but besides all that it could have worked.

Anywho, the weather was gorgeous today; and after Jack did a few workbook lessons (what? doesn't everyone do their school work shirtless?)

and Beau attempted to water paint (I promise my kids own clothes), I packed a picnic lunch and the three of us headed to Red Rock Canyon State Park which is located only a couple of minutes away from our house.
(See, I told you it was Sound of Music-y...despite the fact we were below sea level in a canyon rather than miles above it in the Alps.)

I took far too many photos. So here they are in slide show format:

and, as previously stated, there was singing (don't worry - it's not by me).

Have a great weekend everyone!
