I love a day that there is nothing scheduled…
Add to that perfect weather, not too hot or too cold…
Kids that are up for an adventure…
Perfect.
Yesterday, just my 3 youngest kids were home. We called a couple of their cousins to see if they were up for a big bike ride… they were!
We took off after lunch, water bottles & a few granola bars in our back packs, for the state park… It’s 7 miles to the entrance, then probably over a mile back to the camp ground with a play ground & a place to refill our water bottles…
All the kids made it! We had grandma & my sister (who’s kids were with me) on call if had to have help…
But they were still smiling when we got there!
The older 2 boys had went off to explore the campground & find friends (who I knew were camping there)
Grandma came and picked up these younger three & then Lucas, Sam & I rode our bikes back home…
We were quite hurting by the time we got home…
We kept moving though…
As the evening went on, I decided to walk out to the side ditch & cut some of those weeds I was seeing on our trip for a bouquet!
Simple, FREE, flower arrangements available to anyone with a country road at their disposal!!
I watered my flowers around the house…
Then I turned the hose on my kiddos who were happily jumping on the trampoline…
Ate popsicles…
It was just a perfect day…

I love those days too and I often realize it's because I am not distracted with where we have to be or what time we need to be there. The kids seem to follow when I am chilled out. I must remember that more often. Love the "wild flowers" too.
It SOUNDS like the perfect day.. I can't believe the lil ones made it that far!
Sounds wonderful! I can't imagine a day with nothing planned. Ahhhhh.
Sounds like a great day. You deserve it. :o) I LOVE your layout. Lovely!
Sounds like the perfect day for sure, not to mention you got some serious exercise, beautiful flowers, and sweet photos to remember it always.
