Weekend Outdoors

The only thing I had planned for this weekend was a quick trip to a local Greek festival. I figured we could enjoy the music, food and hopefully a kids area. When we arrived (after they opened), they were still setting up and there was probably 4 other cars there. Ugh. (I later googled about it only to find out  it's more of a drinking type festival for adults with bars and bands playing till the wee hours of the night.)

Oh well.

We got our gyro's and baklava and that's really the main point of attending a Greek festival right? The rest of the weekend was spent outdoors and was pretty low key. We went on a jog in the Metroparks, did some housework, took the girls for a walk, went to church, got groceries, watched a movie and that's about it! Sunday evening, however, was my favorite. We went back to the Metropark for some good ole time with mother nature. We followed a couple trails off the beaten path into the woods and down to the water breathing in the most fresh of air and splashing in the water as the birds sang around us.

It was calm. And quiet. And Drew picked up on that. He barely made a peep as he watched animals and soaked up every sound and sight.

I love our high volume of electronic-less nights. They are good for my soul.
