To the present....
Today I picked up the girls from school and surprised them with a picnic lunch at the Arboretum. I figured we needed to get out of our house for a while since we have been on lock down with hand, foot and mouth for over the past week.
The Arboretum was having a Fall Scarecrow exhibit. I wouldn't exactly call it a scarecrow exhibit; more like a Halloween/Fall exhibit. Nonetheless the girls LOVED it! We hadn't been there in quite some time so it was nice to get back to one of our old stomping grounds.
We spent over 2 hours outside in the beautiful 68 degree afternoon. We had was will probably be our last picnic lunch of 2014, visited the kids train garden, walked through the scarecrow exhibit and just ran around the gardens. It was a glorious afternoon.
And what made it even more glorious was that since Abby has been walking so well lately (she actually prefers walking to crawling/walking on knees now!!!) she was able to run around the gardens as well. Meaning I was free to enjoy the day with no child strapped around my body. Who-hooo!!!! I like when they are babies but when they are walking it makes outdoor activities much more enjoyable!
I hope for more November days like this one :) Preferably on the weekend so Daddy can join :)
PS All these pictures were taken with my new phone.... nice, huh?!?!?!
