Warm weather was never very exciting when we lived in Southern California. It was kind of like trying to get excited about oxygen. Now that we live in New England, I'm thrilled that the forecast includes so many pleasant sunny days this month . . .
. . . and I'm determined to take the kids hiking at least once a week. I plan to explore other trails in our town this spring and summer, but today we revisited the one near our home (which is now snow free!) . . .
. . . to enjoy lunch on good old Picnic Rock . . .
. . . while Spike basked in the sun. He's loving the warm weather too.
Today was also the day we started a Dungeons and Dragons quest Daddy purchased. The kids have all made up new characters: Daniel is an impulsive elf ranger, Anna is a practical gnome cleric, Todd is a dwarf fighter who is new to questing, and Joy is a half-elf bard who is secretly a spy (SHHH! DON'T TELL ANYONE!). I'm still playing a human fighter named Nogadocia, because I like her and I didn't get to play her much while I was leading quests. Plus, her name is really fun to say. Try it: "No-guh-DOE-shuh!"
We played one session this morning before Daddy went to work, and another this evening. The first session was pretty uneventful, but in the second one some of us nearly got killed by goblins. We lived to tell the tale though, and hopefully learned some helpful lessons from it. Next item on our to-do list: get out of the goblin bandits' lair alive!
