(Almost) Springtime Fun

On Saturday the weather was absolutely beautiful. We had planned to go to Dustin's parents' house that morning to stay the weekend, but because of the nice weather Dustin had to work all day. That meant Abby I and had the chance to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. The first thing we did was buy some flowers. Abby loves flowers. I had decided that this year she's big enough to have her own flower pot, so we went to Fred Meyer and she got to pick out 3 flowers. I was surprised that all 3 of them weren't pink! When we got home, we decided to start some sun tea. I had gotten some herbal tea recently, and thought it would make good sun tea, so we got that started before we planted the flowers (in case the sun disappeared early).

Then Abby and I found a suitable pot for her flowers. She helped, and we quickly had her new flowers planted in the pot. After they were planted, she watered them with her water pot and we placed them on the back porch.

After we finished planting, we decided to walk around the yard looking at all the flowers that are blooming. I was surprised at how many we have! 

It was so nice, we decided to dig out Abby's roller skates. She's still a bit unsure about them, but she had fun with me pulling her around.

A few minutes later Dustin got home from work, so we packed up some sun tea and headed down to visit his parents.

Sun Tea

Makes 1 gallon

Sun Tea Pitcher

Water

4 Tea Bags (Any Flavor)

Fill pitcher with water. Place tea bags in the pitcher. Put pitcher outside in the sun for 3-4 hours. Sweeten to taste.

We found that this flavor didn't need any sweetening, unlike the black tea I usually use. It's also fun to experiment with tea combinations, such as 2 black tea bags and 2 peach tea bags.
