We took the two kids to see the sunset tonight. We arrived at 7pm, just about 10 mins before the sun was about to set. We loved seeing the warm glowing rays as we walked up to the top of the knoll. See photo.
As we approached the top, we saw cows, which the kids absolutely loved seeing! Elise couldn't stop staring at the animals. It still feels unbelievable that we were so close to these cows. It would be nice to keep the side facing Windemere as open as possible so we may enjoy seeing these animals walk by. Here is Ethan making a face when asked to pose with the cow.
As we stood on the top, we realized that the sunset was actually further to the LEFT than we originally thought, based on the compass reading. It set closer to the Windemere development versus down the middle of the rolling green hills. See picture below of the sunset.
It started to get windy so we headed down the hill. Ethan LOVED walking around the site. He marched up and down the hill with such joy and determination. It made us realize how much we would love to have a hiking path that goes around the house so we can take the kids on "nature walks" around our property. They didn't want to leave the site and wanted to walk around more. So Liwen walked them both down the hill to the bridge. It was a very special family outing for us.
The following morning, Vince had a chance to go back up to the lot at around 9:30 am to check out the morning sun.
Pretty much as expected, the sun was coming up from the Windemere hills to the right of the oak tree, so any room facing the road leading up to the home will hit the sun directly. We don't think this is a huge issue, as long as the windows from Vince's office or bedrooms are facing the Windemere home (i.e. SxSE)
