Take a walk with me ...

After some morning chores, we decided to be tourists in our own city.  Daddy walking with 5 girls and mommy trailing behind with her camera.

To get to our "city" if you can even call it that, it takes about 15 minutes and there is almost always available parking.  That is how "BIG CITY" my city is ;)

OKAY girls, show me the CHEESE ...

We headed to the River Market for a quick walk through.  What girl can walk past a table of sunglasses?  Not any of my girls!  Silly {c} ... you can really see both her mom and dad in those eyes of hers.  Maybe even a sister or two.

Oh  ... HI there!

I love how this girl really loves spending quality time with her family.  Her mind is always focused on what really matters.

For some reason our city enjoys making or converting bridges for walking or exercising.  This is NOT the BIG DAM BRIDGE, but just one of a few pedestrian walk bridges.  I guess it is a neat way to view our great (ha), big (not) city.

The obligatory kid shot with lots of squinters ...

A view of the park that my girls wanted to venture to.  This I must admit was really cool.  I also noticed some running paths ;)

Ahhhhhhh, check out that vast skyline.  I still remember my very first flight when we were checking out this place.  All I could say was "that's it?"

My little monkey quickly found something to climb on.  Check out that beautiful BLUE SKY!  

More climbers ready to go down into a hole that my husband needed to find the other end to. Run Honey ... go find them!

Rocks and sprinkler fun ...

GREAT BIG ROCKS!

It was a really nice few hours.  Hopefully in the next few months, and as the weather starts to cool down just a little, we will take more outings.  I love getting out and I really love taking pictures!

That looks like fun. I wish our neareat big city (Atlanta) wasn't SO BIG and CROWDED. Sometimes it is exhausting just sitting in traffic to get there and then finding the right parking garage... and hope that it isn't already full.

That was really fun to see! Thanks for sharing!

My town has 2 bars, one bank and one church. Then it is 6 miles to a little bit bigger town where the biggest store is the grocery store then 6 more miles into the ugliest town in the world! Pretty much a college town built all on one road that a million people are congested on. Strange but true.

Fun family time!

I never saw these pictures. They are terrific. Right now I'm searching for the post where you gave me an award so I can finally pass it on. (I passed something to you today as well.)

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
