An Afternoon Adventure

We went on a spontaneous afternoon adventure.  Leaving homework and reading for later we packed a snack, snatched the baby backpack and off we went.  Just down the road a bit is a trail that has been calling our name as we drive by it to and from Rebecca’s school each day.  It was just the step away we needed.  Away from a schedule, a to do list, a pile of laundry, dinner to make, homework to do, and oh so very much more.  Just my sweet ones and I on our own in the woods.  Oh it fills the soul.  Isn’t it a wonder the way stepping away actually helps you step ahead.  Sweet sweet bliss.
