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.)

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

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 ...
