We had the van in to have new tires put on it last
Saturday. Unfortunately there was a
problem and when I called to tell them about it, it turned out I had to bring
the van in. Because we're homeschooling four
children, we usually try to schedule these things in the evening or on
weekends so I don’t have to drag four kids along with me. But the mechanic said it would only take half an hour and I figured we could go for a nice walk while we waited. (The van actually took more than an hour and
a half but that’s beside the point!) The
point is that, despite the annoyance of having to have the van back in again on
a weekday afternoon, we had a great time on our hike – climbing, balancing,
running, skipping, laughing, exploring, breathing in fresh air, etc. . . . We
ended up having an unexpected afternoon of fun, just hanging outside
together.

| Love these pictures of all the kids looking out at something. I never set them up that way but it just works out that I have a bunch of these kind of pictures in different locations. Fun! |

| This picture made me laugh because when I looked closer, I noticed Austin is wearing crocs! LOL. |

Such fun moments! My Grandma says, 'Each day holds some lovely secret just waiting to unfold.' I think of this often when unexpected blessings like hikes and special times with our kiddos happen.
Great pics of the fun!
