I guess spring break actually started on Friday after my last class of the week, but today was the first day of no school when I normally would have school, and it was Glorious! It started with a trip to Home Depot for a flower pot for the flowers I got Nicole for her birthday, and some gardening supplies for her new gardening interest.
It is a painting of Piney Lake where I worked two summers ago near Vail, CO when I was on Summer Project with Campus Crusade. The lake sits at the bottom of Mt Powell which is 13,700 ft. I did it based on this picture which was taken in June! There was so much snow left up there and when we left in August, there was still a good amount of snow left. It was great being up there in the mountains all summer and at one of the most beautiful places in Colorado. My favorite memory of being up there was when a very large bull moose charged a group of tourists that were trying to get close for a picture right down there where the dock is in the picture. 
The first day of spring break was great, lets see if we can top it tomorrow!
Then I got the chance to take up the paint brush after about a 6 month absence to finish the painting I started, and crossed off another one!

But the best part of the day was yet to come.....
For the rest of the afternoon, probaby about 4 or 5 hours, Nicole and I played with Legos!
#86 Build a house out of legos
Before we started painting, we swung by my parents house and dug out my old boxes of Legos and Playmobile, two of the best toys ever made! It brought back so many childhood memories of building houses and cars for days on end with all the peices spread all over the floor of my room. Today I built a house with a deck on top, with a club house connected to it, and a garage that is way to small for the truck I built.

Wow!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, that painting is awesome! I knew exactly what it was of before I saw the actual picture. Way to go!
Secondly, I am a little jealous of your day spent playing legos. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!
