The last couple weeks have been emotional. I started writing a post yesterday morning somewhat diving into where I have been lately but didn’t have the opportunity to complete my thoughts and in the desire to continue regular posting I am going to throw our adventures from today out there.
My desire for adventures has always been a part of my motherhood vision but with four sons five and under it’s not always been feasible. The boys although usually seen as these awesome little dudes when we are out from time to time would lose their ever loving minds when it was time to go and I honestly shut down from wanting to leave our house. Well today started with a play date at the park and ended with an adventure with Abba at Grapevine Lake.
The park was incredible! The boys listened. Played. Got in the car when it was time to go with little protest. I literally was bragging to people at how awesome they did when it was time to go. Seriously a dream. Loved it so much we are going back in the morning.
(Sadly I only took videos at the park and they won’t upload from my phone 😢)
When we got home we played and cleaned as we waited for Ian to get home so part two of adventure day could commence. Like I said the last couple of weeks *cough years cough* have been rough and I thought we needed something fun to refresh and rejuvenate as a family. Grapevine Lake fit the bill for today if you need a place to skip rocks, explore and see airplanes coming in for a landing look no further! I love seeing the world through the eyes of my boys, such amazement from the littlest of things. May we never lose the wonder of a child. Here are some snapshots from our time at the lake. 
So we are going to ignore the fact that it is blatantly obvious who the photographer is in the family, although I am super proud of the one of Zee walking on the trail.
Anyways, this was precisely what the doctor ordered, sometimes when life gets tough you need to get outside and have some good old fashion FUN!
How have you found adventure and fun in your life lately? Or have you stopped looking at the world with wonder? Go and explore the world God entrusted us with, you won’t regret it.
