If you know me in real life or have been reading my blog for a while, you already know this; but I'll say it again: Riven Rock Park is one of my absolute favorite places. :)
This past weekend, we went there for the first time this year; and it did not disappoint. The peace and serenity, the beauty, the relaxation, the joy of seeing my children having fun in such a lovely part of nature, the blessing of being together as a family--it all combines to make an outing to Riven Rock a very special thing indeed for me.
Jeff was extremely helpful in making this particular trip to Riven Rock a success. First of all, he suggested it. ;-) But more than that, he helped a ton with preparing food for our picnic lunch there, which I greatly appreciated. There's an extra special flavor when food is grilled and eaten outdoors - yum. :)
I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves. Think I can manage to hold my tongue til the end of this post? ;-)
It looks peaceful. My kids would love to stick their toes in the water. Looks like your boys had fun. :)
ReplyDeleteIs Moriah crying the in the last picture? :(
Such sweet pictures! I love how it looks like you can all just relax. That's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteValerie - you must have good eyes! Yes, you're right: Moriah was crying. She had JUST fallen down and scraped up her knees on the rough surface and was being comforted by Daddy. It wasn't a serious injury, but I remember how much scraped knees hurt when I was a girl, so I know she was in pain. For several days afterward, she would get my attention and pat her knees, as if to remind me of what she had gone through. :)
ReplyDeleteI have still never been there. It looks like so much fun though!
