A Country Weekend With the Family

This weekend was AWESOME.

We had a fair balance of activity on Saturday pared with low-key, mellow relaxing on Sunday. It really was perfect.

On Saturday, Jonathan's mom, dad, him, Artoo, and I all hiked to the beaver pond. I have heard of the beaver pond since before Jonathan and I got together. It was always this "place" not far from the house but a bit of a hike. I vowed that someday I would get there.

Friends, this was that weekend.

It was a little over a mile to get to the beaver pond, up through the forest, through some scrabbly bushes, and then along a logging road. The view at the end was great. We sat in the sun (low 60s that day!) and relaxed. Artoo got to eat two apple cores. It was a great afternoon.

The next day I woke up and started reading, eventually finishing my book. I didn't do much else but read on Sunday. It was a great day. It was nice to sit and rest and not rush around. It was nice to have a break from my phone or computer. It was just awesome.

This was our weekend...

    1. Ohhhh, to me, hiking is best now while it's not crazy hot! I would rather hike in overcast or cooler weather any day!

  2. This is BEAUTIFUL!! I really love the photos of Artoo. His face is the best. It's like he's enjoying it, but doesn't want everyone to know how excited he is!! :) Sounds like an amazing, relaxing weekend. You deserved it!!
