It's the first time we have been able to do a family fun day since I got pregnant so we were pretty excited, even though it was really low-key.
And today was a great day because it actually ended up not being so hot - it was actually in the low 80's (which was so nice compared to the normal highs) which made our little adventure much nicer. There are so many state parks really close to us that we decided we would just go on a little hike.
We decided to go up to Barr Lake State Park which is just about twenty minutes away from us. There wasn't too many hiking options at this park but we just decided to walk around the lake aways. We walked down to the gazebo boardwalk which was about a three and a half mile jaunt round trip.
This park is supposedly internationally known for its birdwatching but we were a little disappointed. We didn't see ANY birds until halfway through our hike and even then they were really far away. Oh well. It was still wonderful to just get out of the house and do something together as a family. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my little family?
Mark starts school back up on Monday - which honestly makes me so so sad, next week is going to be rough for me - so it was just wonderful to soak in another day we can spend together as a little family.
WOOT WOOT for family fun!
