Our Day Off

We have declared as a family that we shall have at least one day every week where we do nothing but rest and enjoy our family!

And today we did just that!  It began with trip to Blue Jay Point County Park.  We hiked on the Falls Lake Trail and spent some time skipping rocks and collecting nature items.  We had a great time.  The weather was absolutely beautiful.  It couldn't have been over 85 degrees out there.  There was no humidity either.  Noting but blue skies and fresh air!

In case you were wondering, yes, that is Caleb.  My baby carrier was also used as a baby holder when we took breaks.  He looks like he is in pain in this picture, but I promise there was no baby harmed in this trip.  In fact, he was carried along and spoiled a good bit.  He even slept for most of the hike.

Men have marveled for centuries at the wonders of God's creation.  This hike was no exception.  I saw five things that caused me to take pause and thank God for his splendor.  And one of them even stopped to let me  take the above picture!

What can you say?  I have got the best family in the world!

We had to have a picnic lunch with our hike to make it authentic.  So we let Sonic take care of the food.  We used their tables for our picnic.  It was much better than packing a lunch and trying to feed these little animals. These big cups you see everyone holding are Sonic's Route 44 sized drinks.  We split two of them.  They were enormous.

What a day indeed!
