Absolutely wonderful day off. I love having two days off during the week once a month. Not only can I get errands done that can't be done on weekends per se (drs apts etc) but we can have fun family time with very little crowds. Believe me we squeeze in LOTS of fun things every day and every weekend but it's nice when it's "just us" in a place.
We have been trying to do one day of the two days off as a mini fun trip. We either pack the cooler and head out somewhere fun or we just take a few hours and go somewhere.
This Monday we decided to head to the lake for the afternoon. Kaya was in HEAVEN! She got to use the binoculars and watch the boats speed by. She did alot of bird watching and saw her first eagle in the wild!! (we were just as excited) lol
We also got brave and hiked the trail up to the very top of the cliffs where the rocks jut out over the edge. Kaya was amazed at the view from up there. She thought everything looked "beautiful" :) Steve has been feeling very exhausted this week..literally in bed before supper two evenings...so I was surprised he wanted to do the trails. Speaks great testament to the type of Daddy he is. :)
Best part of the day was Kaya leaning back and saying she enjoyed it. "I like places like this. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful and you can just really think" :)
After our day at the lake we stopped in so she could visit with her great great Aunt and Uncle and they were thrilled with the visit. They are truly sweet people that we enjoy having in our lives!
Hopefully our girl realizes the beauty in nature, the sweetness in the calm and the richness she has in her life :)
And who can complain about an afternoon spent looking at a view like this :)
