The weather has been absolutely amazing lately and we have tried our very best to take advantage of it. This past Thursday, while Rhonald was off, we decided to take the kids to Crystal Bridges and do some exploring. Man, we love that place and that day we actually had it basically all to ourselves. We walked and looked at every little thing we could - the kids ran their hearts out and the laughter was never ending. Rhonald and I just sat back and watched them enjoy the day and all of the space they had to play and we kept repeating, "what a beautiful day!" And it was, in more ways than one. Lily Kate and Cole both went nuts over a small clearing in the trees filled with leaves! We don't have many trees in our yard so they had not experienced leaves like this before. We practically had to drag them out of there when it was time to go. After we had walked for awhile we decided it was time for lunch so we headed over to the crepe stand for a yummy (and huge) lunch of homemade crepes. I seriously could not believe that we were sitting outside for lunch in February! Being a mom has helped me see so many things about life and one thing that I truly believe (and hope to teach my kids) is that it is the most simple things that mean the most. This day was just that...simple...and totally and completely beautiful!
