The perfect summer day…

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!

Summer Note Cards

I have been wanting to get some more note cards printed for selling in my Etsy shop.  Doesn’t seem like I’ve had much time for that this summer!!  I took a few photos yesterday and would love to have your thoughts on them.

I would also love to hear what kind of cards you would like to see me offer.  Do you like them to say “Thank You” or something about “sympathy”?  Or do you just like the verses or the one words like “grace” or “hope”? 

Leave me a comment with your favorite & your thoughts.

Fun Times!
