Stomping grounds
And so adventure season begins. I'll start by saying, I'm not sure how adventurous we will be this year. With the state of the nation, I'm gonna be pretty choosy about our destinations. Which is sad and pathetic considering how grateful and peaceful Americans should be. But I digress.
The first two weeks of school seemed to drain the life right out of the boys, so we all agreed that staying close to home would be best. I heaved the bikes and scooters into the car and we trekked moments down the road to the boys' school.
An expedition already conquered a bazillion times over, but also a great excuse for some much-needed exercise on a classic late-summer day. Warm breeze and no humidity. Passing clouds and a sunset creeping ever earlier. A mama thankful for open skies and short legs pumping out another two miles. Two boys who are sometimes-friends.
Not much excitement, no exploring, but a gift nonetheless.
We trudged our wobbly legs home, curled up in the living room with a snack. Watched the Lego movie for the first time ever, and belly laughed until we couldn't see straight.
I have no idea if or how the boys will remember these nights when they are older, but memories of these simple little times together will follow me as some of the best in my life. Crazy in love with my guys.
