This Is The Life

Saturday morning Jeff and I decided to take advantage of a lovely, if a bit overcast, day and participate in some family outdoor activity that didn't include pulling weeds. We loaded the kids in the stroller and took a nice walk to a shopping area not far from our house. There is an awesome bike trail that goes by our neighborhood pond (no ducks but a gorgeous blue heron and at least one huge turtle), through a wooded area, across and creek and right to the shopping center.




Gorgeous, no?

I have to be honest and also show you the less scenic part of the walk:


Apparently there are lots of hike and bike trails around here that we've yet to explore. I hope to check a few of them out this spring!

There is a fledgling farmer's market going on down at the shopping center on Saturday mornings so we stopped by and bought blueberry yogurt from a local dairy farm as well as a few potatoes and some plums. I didn't get any pretty pictures...but here are some potatoes!


After shopping we listened to some live music as we enjoyed a fantastic lunch at Potbelly's. Yum! What a fabulous morning with my favorite people!

So glad you guys took a break from all of the weed pulling to just be together. I totally dig those days when you have no real plans...just to be a family!
