While you were working...

Day offs for me come far and few between, so when our day care needed drivers for a trip to a nature park in town, I jumped at the opportunity to spend the day with my kids, get outdoors and enjoy the moment. And we did.

We came face to face with American toads...

Went for a nature hike....


Played in the water...

And dug under rocks to find bugs and other creatures...

That's the way summer is supposed to be, and I think it's becoming lost in the land of Wii. Me, I'll take a morning like that any time.
