Madeline Enjoys The Great Outdoors

 Eric had the day off for Veteran's Day yesterday.  (Woo-hoo.)  Most of the day was spent catching up on chores or lounging on the couch since Eric feels like he's coming down with a cold, but we did get the chance to enjoy the sunshine for a little while.

It's been cold and rainy here for about a week, but yesterday it was bright, sunny, and not too cold.  We took Madeline for a walk downtown and then headed to a nearby park to let her enjoy some sun.  She hasn't really spent much time outdoors because of the weather, and we figured it will probably be one of the last chances for her to enjoy the sunshine before the snow starts falling and we're trapped inside for the winter.

We dressed her up nice and warm and put lots of thick blankets between her and the ground.  Maddie woke up for a while, but she mostly refused to open her eyes.  I think the sun was too bright for her.  Still, it was nice to lie there for awhile letting the sun warm us up and breathing in the last of the crisp fall air.
