Museum Mondays

Mondays are early out days for the kids. Rather than sit around home whining about watching TV, we decided to take that extra time on Mondays and go and do something fun. We call it Museum Mondays (although we don't always go to a museum).
Today, was a Minimal Monday, meaning the kids got out of school even earlier (think 12:30). Kate and I picked up the boys and went to Subway to get some sandwiches. We took our lunch up to the canyon.
It was such a beautiful day. I brought jackets for all the kids, but we didn't need them. After eating, the kids went exploring. They found a rock slide, a fuzzy caterpillar, a huge rock to climb on and, of course, threw rocks in the river. It was such a fun afternoon.

Great idea, Mom! Wish I'd thought of it when you were having early out days!

Wow! Look at you getting fun and creative! Personally, I like to have my kids home at an unnatural hour complaining until dinner time that they have nothing to do and that their lives are boring. But that's just me.
