A couple of weeks ago, Rainbow Shoes, The Girl, her friend Moo and I needed a break from 100+ degree weather, so we headed for the mountain nearby. The drive only takes about 45 minutes, but it feels like a whole other world up there. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. It was in the upper 70’s, sunny, and breezy. I love the sound of the wind through the trees–it soothes the soul. The kids took a little hike and skipped rocks on the lake, and then we drove further up the mountain for homemade pizza.
It was such a nice trip for us. The Girl made me promise we’ll go at least once a month. I’m so proud that my kids can enjoy a simple, relaxing day. So often they’re in front of the computer or plugged in to Ipods, but they can also occasionally slow down and enjoy just being together.
