The day started with a walk on a Greenways trail that included throwing rocks into the creek and feeding horses! Neither activity was planned, which made them that much more fun. Caleb even conquered his fear and let a horse eat from his hand, but mom wasn’t quick enough to capture a photo of that.
In the spirit of authenticity, it’s worth mentioning that at one point during our walk and loading/unloading of the car, each of the three kiddos had a mini meltdown. In spite of that, I think we all had a good time anyway.
Although the snacks on our walk (which took place immediately after breakfast) included PB&J crackers, apples, oranges and drinks, of course the boys still worked up an appetite. So it was back to the house for lunch followed by a dip in the pool. Always a good time!
After our swim, we couldn’t wait to get to our buddy’s house to check out his new birthday gift…a Power Wheels gator! Everyone got to take a spin, including Gage with some added support from the GoTo Seat. I just love when we can find ways for him to truly be included. The kids in his life are so great about making that happen too.
When we got back home, the boys graciously went down for naps so I could squeeze in a couple hours of work. Another reminder how lucky I am to work from home. Gage has different plans today, so I’ve got a very squirmy, vocal boy in my lap as I type. That’s pretty great too, though.
We just love our summer days!
