today is going to be a good, good day.

On Saturday morning the kids and I got up early in the morning, grabbed some donuts and milk, and headed to a place that I think it absolutely gorgeous.  I wanted to see how the light played out against the trees once the sun was up.  I knew I would love it.  We had made kites the day before and we were excited to fly them.

Only there wasn't even a whisper of a breeze.

We made the best of it and the kids got a great work out running like mad trying to make their kites fly by seeing how fast they could go to make their own wind.  Some people got tired out.  Some people took a little power nap right when we got there.  Some people made another kite upon arrival.  Some people wanted to bust out the donuts and milk before we even had a blanket laid down.

It was a fantastic start to the day.  Even though we were up on a weekend morning before the sun I have to say it ranks up there with my favorite Saturdays.  I loved the chance to hang out with the kids first thing in the morning when it was a perfect temperature, sweet and delicious light, and a relaxing location.  I couldn't have asked for a better way too keep me smiling all day.

blissful. LIFE.
