A full and fun Saturday

What a welcome Saturday off! I have worked the last two weekends and my only day off in the last 10 days involved a trip to the children's hospital, which is a 3-hour round trip drive. 

 

Needless to say, Hubby and I were both more than ready for a break. And we did have a full and fun day.
 

I wanted to give him some time away from his "Daddy job" and to spend time together. We brought the girls to stay with their Aunt while we spent the morning at Trap Pond State Park playing disc golf. Also known as frisbee golf, this is Daddy's favorite hobby and he's gotten very good at it. I am not, but that's ok, I AM a huge fan of walking through the woods together. It's a win-win date :)
 

In the afternoon, we brought a surprise for the girls! It just so happens that a couple I recently sold a home to had an old swing set right where the new home is to be built. I kindly offered our services to "remove" the set. With Grandad's help, we got a swing set for free and the couple got a cleared yard. Another win-win! 

I'm so thankful to have family around to help, both in tough times and in fun times. The girls are thrilled with the play set. Daddy will have to make a few adjustments to the steps for the girls to be able to climb up to the slide, but other than that, it's great for a 16 year old set.

After finishing the day with a trip to Wal-mart and some cleaning, I'm enjoying solitude with Pandora playing, freshly painted hot pink nails drying, and of course, writing.

Days like these we want to remember.
