Wandering home

On Thursday morning the girls and I dropped my car off to have a state inspection done. We were also having the back brakes replaced so we knew we had a whole afternoon to kill without our car. Luckily our car repair shop is literally just about 1 mile away so we knew we could walk home.

We headed down the road and crossed the main street without any hiccups. We were making good time. The girls weren't really complaining about the heat...or the distance... I was enjoying the walk.

We decided to take a shortcut through the trees rat the main entrance to our neighborhood and ended up running around (in the shade of the trees thank goodness) for about an hour. We were all drenched the by the time we made it home and Lilly was begging me to carry her all the way down Mulberry Loop, but it was definitely worth the fun.

Sophia found this sawed-off tree trunk and told me that the this tree is 11 years old! Is she right?? Anyone??

We also found lots of pine cones and fallen leaves and inspected some tree bark.

We played freeze tag...for a long time. Sophia is a fast runner when she wants to be!

Had a refreshing drink.

Made some fun memories.
