When you head out for the day with a packed lunch and no main destination, and you travel down some country roads, you might find...
a stream to explore...
space to run free (which is right next to a panther effigy Indian mound)...
wildflowers to pick...
(and a cupholder to put them in)
and a hydroelectric dam.
We also met a couple of local families, some shy Amish children, and some kids who were camping and had a different painted turtle that they were building elaborate passages for in a sandbox. All in all, a day well spent (and now Camille wants to be Amish :)
Gorgeous, Nikole. What a scrumptious summer you're having! We would have loved to spend this day with you. I love trips with no fixed destination, just all of you open to what you might find :)
ReplyDeleteAnd that's very, very cute about Camille.
Looks like a fun day!
ReplyDeleteHelena, we would have loved to have you along (or perhaps gone on a lovely adventure in Oz :)

This is the very reason I am so looking forward to unschooling our children. They are only 2 and 10 weeks at the moment but days like these really make me happy.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this with us.
What a beautiful day. So free and easy. Those flowers are lovely, and so is the turtle :o)
ReplyDeleteOh, lovely day! Makes me want to go find a wildflower field. :)
