Getting Out

This morning I had bread dough rising on my counter by 7:00am. We waved Camilla off to school and waited on the bread before taking off for a long morning walk. The weather was beautiful, and everyone was happy to get out for some exercise. 

Joe mastered his two-wheeler over the weekend and we were all so proud! I loved listening to the big kids cheer him on and give him confidence. He was so excited to ride it today! We went to a new, super wide, walking trail behind the golf course. It was lined with beautiful, big trees and I loved watching the sun twinkle through the branches as the wind gently blew. I slowly pushed Finley in the stroller while the boys rode ahead, side by side. I loved listening to their little voices in the distance as they talked. They are such great friends most days.

We had to stop on the way home for every bug, stick, or speck that they saw as they rode their bikes. We played with this lady bug for quite sometime!

After some homemade cheese buns and a cold smoothie, I tucked this little guy in for a long afternoon nap. There are many afternoons I wish I could just join him!

After Camilla got home from school, I examined the mess that still covered my kitchen counters and sighed. I stuck a freezer meal into the oven and then joined the kids in the little plastic pool out back. The mess doesn't seem to matter so much in the Summer time. Now that we are down to our last two school days I am craving late nights playing outside, and a slow, easy schedule. We are so grateful for Summer!
