Fun Friday

The morning started off on a bit of a sour note. I thought a friend and I had agreed on setting Friday mornings as play dates. I am all about routine and regular activities. I was all excited - for the last 18 months I had been feeling badly that we had not made a huge effort to get together, since our girls are exactly the same age. Anyways, when I emailed her to confirm the plans and to inform her it was a PD day for my boys, she informed me that she was meeting up with another mutual friend for a play date...she later called - maybe feeing bad - and invited us to join them at a local museum. I politely declined - I did not feel like roaming the museum...and, well, I was a little ticked. (If my friend had said, "hey, so-and-so would also like to meet up with us", I would have been totally for it...)

So, based on the lovely fall weather, and our need for a physical activity we decided to head to a local hiking trail and bring along a picnic. What is so much fun about this trail is that the chick-a-dees will come land in your hand to take birdseed.

Well, the pictures speak for themselves! We had so much fun! It was so lovely outside - the air brisk, the leaves falling, the birds chirping, the kids running, laughing and squealing. It was a fun Friday for sure!

What a fun Friday we had after all...could not beat it!

As I type this Anderson and Madigan are snoring away and DJ is playing quietly - all three of them walked the whole trail! Wonder if they will get their second wind in time for the the family swim night????????
