When you need to just get out....

What to do when its getting past dinner time, everyone is cranky, and you haven't gone outside for a walk yet?  Picnic!

Load up a pack with sandwiches, apples, popcorn and linens....



Have your pregnant five year old carry the drinks (and spray bottle?)....




Hit the trails!....




Stop to observe late afternoon landscape deliveries that are both interesting and frighteningly loud...




Watch the birds in the sky, listen to the dogs in their yards, feel the air get cooler as everyone enjoys dinner in a grassy field....








Hit the play grounds hard and fast, there is no time to waste (notice her commitment to pregnancy includes wearing her baby in her clothes even as she climbs)....

 


Head home relaxed and ready for evening rhythm as the sun sets...

 


Thank you to The Magic Onions for bringing us together each Friday with the celebration of nature.

Your kids are so cute. Time outside does wonders, doesn't it?
