Monday felt like the only real "day off" we had on our four day weekend. We wanted to get out of the house. But more than that we needed to get out of the house!
We are finally reaping the benefits of having two kids that don't take naps any more. I know some of you are thinking how could there be benefits to that?! But trust me there are. For starters we left the house at 1:00, typically what I associate to be the start of most kids nap time. Secondly, they didn't get all grumpy and cranky on us because they weren't sleeping like they are used to. I see those as two major perks it really feels like our little family is more "mobile" now and I am loving it. We ended up taking a drive out to an old bridge that is now a scenic area with several trails around it.
Our amateur photographer daughter snapped this one, not to bad really!
After our time on the bridge we decided to go for a walk on a trail. Which turned into us being super paranoid about poison ivy and the girls touching any 3 or 5 leaf plants.
I really need to educate myself in the poison ivy identifying department.
It was a great time and nobody got poison (added perk)!
We got home just in time to relax, watching the rain from our porch and a movie.
I love days like this. Definitely the highlight of our weekend.
