What a splendidly beautiful day we had here today. The sun was out, there was no wind and we had temps in the high 70's. For a change of pace and as an excuse to spend some time outside in the delightful spring weather, we decided to have a picnic dinner down by the river tonight.
Grace made the Pioneer Woman's cowboy
calzones, which she packed in a cardboard box while they were still warm from the oven. We grabbed some apples, baby carrots and a roll of paper towels, loaded the whole fam into the van and we were off. After we enjoyed our victuals, Daddy and the kids explored some trails that meandered through the brush while Isaac and I watched the seagulls brazenly snatch the remains of Jude's
pb & j right off the picnic table where we were seated. The littles also took full advantage of the play ground equipment. Joel was too chicken to go down the big swirly slide, but Jude was not one little bit afraid.
The entire family then took a stroll down to the river's edge where a half dozen or so Canadian Geese were swimming with their goslings. The goslings were making their little chirping noises as they paddled alongside the adults. Their fuzzy down feathers shown golden in the setting sun. Needless to say, we were all quite taken with the parade of geese and their bitty babies, so we lingered and watched them for quite awhile.
On the way home, we spotted a rainbow and it's reflection on the water. God certainly outdid Himself with the array of beauty He provided for us tonight. It was so nice for our family to have such a relaxing evening after a hectic week.
