• Family Outings: A Walk in the Park

    Brina and Karlie pausing “briefly” on our walk so I can snap a picture!

    Every once in awhile when the girls are off school and it is a beautiful day we get to meet Daddy for a quick picnic and walk in the park.  Legacy Park is pretty close to Jake’s work so he can pop over and meet us over his lunch hour.  I think the girls get more excited about going for a walk around the park then eating, ha!

    Legacy Park has paved paths for walking, biking or jogging plus a playground for the kids, beach volleyball, and a big open field perfect for flying kites or playing soccer.  On those hot days they have plenty of shade and restrooms (which are very nice for little kids).  I treasure these moments when we get get together over the lunch hour to grab a bite to eat, walk, talk, and play together as a family.  I think it is important to have some relaxing times built into our schedules.  Not only do we get a few extra minutes together as a family we get fresh air and some exercise which is beneficial for all of us!

    Do you have a park you enjoy going to for a picnic or to play?

  • Family Outings: Picnic at Legacy Park

    Every once in awhile we have the opportunity to meet Daddy for a quick picnic over his lunch hour.

    Karlie about ready to blow her bubbles on Mommy!

    The girls like to blow bubbles when we go to the park and luckily for them I usually have some  in the van.  Bubbles have  come in handy quite often in our adventures.

    Now it's Brina's turn to blow bubbles my direction!

    Somehow I get plenty of fun bubbles blown in my direction!

    It’s the little things in life that can entertain for hours!

    Brina flying away on a jet plane, always plenty of entertainment on the play ground.

    The girls enjoy exploring and playing at the variety of parks in our area.  Thankful for some time to spend with Jake and allow the girls some play time as well.
