Our lives have written a story line for us that has forced us to slow down, take a deep breath and be thankful. Unfortunately we have been on "cruise-control" with life being so busy- but we cannot ignore much longer. So this weekend was dedicated to family. Spending time with Justin and Hannah and do anything and everything- with one rule: live in the moment.
No distractions but each other.
So we packed up the car and headed to a little treasure hidden in Maple Grove.
Elm Creek Park.
One of twenty-two reserves in Minnesota. The reserves cover over 27,000 acres and are connected by over 200 miles of bike, hiking and horse trails. We biked and we biked and when we were tired, we biked some more- because we knew that our final destination would be worth the hard work.
At last...we arrived at the most amazing playground I have ever seen.
Not only did Hannah have a great time, but this playground was made for adults too. It was awesome. We played, we slid, we climbed, we swang. And when we were tired, we had a picnic.
A picnic in the shade was the perfect ending to a long afternoon of playing and biking.
There is never a bad time to sit back and reflect. This weekend we kept in mind, that above anything and everything...
