The Best Laid Plans....

A week ago these two girls planned to spend the day together today. They were going to splash, jump, swim, and dive the hours away at the pool. We gave it our best effort but at 75 degrees we couldn't swing but two hours. 

One of the neatest things about kids is their resiliency - I think I was more heartbroken than they were and not because I needed to splash, jump, dive and swim but because I knew how excited they were to have this day. We made some adjustments and I think we did just fine by the smiles on their faces.

 The beautiful clouds.

 The lost truck that we found in the woods.

 When we were hiking we found a monarch butterfly. It is probably one of my friends from my school when we let them go.

 I was feeling a little scared when mommy was already in the woods. I finally got brave and went in there.

We found a marsh and had to get across all these branches so we didn't get muddy. But my hands got a little muddy.

 This is the bridge that was in the marsh. It was all yucky and plants also growed on the bridge.

 I was peeking at the camera on our way to get lunch.

I was on the bars at the playground after lunch.

When we were leaving we saw a wild deer. My dad would have loved it!
