Seize the day everyone!! Go outside, take a walk and enjoy the warmth of fall before winter's frigid kiss comes to brush against your cheek.

We did just that yesterday. Savannah and I took an explorative bike ride & I brought my camera!


We took advantage of the warm day because I know that this wont last much longer. I love going down this hill on my bike. At the very bottom is an old stone bridge. The bike path leads left or right just after it. We decided not to take either way... in fact we took a small wooded path that led us to the river.


It was so lush!


But you can see the signs of fall everywhere.


We love to explore and I love how nature comes up with such gorgeous designs.


We took a left at the bike trail when leaving the little nook we explored. Down the trail we came upon a small dry stream. Further into the brush was another bridge. We dragged our bikes through the brush to get closer. *We werent going to leave them on the trail*


The long dark tunnel of the bridge was surreal. It reminded me of an egyptian tomb.


On the otherside the sun shone through the trees. We admired the beauty and small details of the aged bridge. Moss, spiders, leaves and all sorts of creatures made their home here. The minerals in the rock were seeping out and sparkling in the sun.


Savannah walked to the top of the bridge to see what was there. It was the train tracks. She loved looking at the rocks and seeing how high up we were. Soon we heard people wandering through the trees down below. We decided to go back to our bikes(since they were getting closer to our bikes) and continue on our way.


Savannah was admiring the quartz in the rock she was holding.


Much further down and more hidden we explored the remains of an old building near the river.


Savannah loved this and I did too!!


I would love to come back and do a photoshoot here with Savannah in costume or dressed up.


After a while of talking and exploring we heard a train whistle blow. It sounded close so we decided to go see if a train was coming. It wasnt on this track but on a different one so we didnt get to see it.

So we went home after this and had a great night. We took her friends out to dinner because a resteraunt close by had "kids eat free on Tuesday". That rocks! We sang songs on the way home in the car and goofed around when walking her friends home.

I love having fun. I love spending time with Savannah. I love exploring.

I love life!

Re: Carpe Diem!!!!
What I mean is... not all parents see the uniqueness in their children. Not all parents take an interest in their children's inner-workings. I mean, I didn't used to. I was so overwhelmed.

But I do now... and it's really nice to see it in others. Comforting, somehow.

*HUGGIES* (and not the diapers)

Re: Carpe Diem!!!!
Yay! I completely understand. Its so easy to brush of "what is normal" and not look past that in a child. *sigh* It is overwhelming at times but thats where I realize I just need to focus more on her instead of being selfish.

I feel so selfish at times..."I'll help later" "Not now Im busy" "I dont want to."

Its so easy to be a lazy parent. Thats not what I want. I want the influences in my child not to be her friends or the tv. I want to nurture her for what SHE is.

*huuuuugs* It is comforting. Seeing you with your children helped revive that in me and reaffirm how I feel. LOVE YOU!!

Re: Carpe Diem!!!!
I'm not as good with my kids as you are with yours.

My friend here in Michigan has this saying, "I'll change tomorrow. Not today." Hahaha!

That sounds like my approach to the things I need to work on in myself. (Like, how much attention I give the kids...)

You are a lovely person, Bekah Beans!

Re: Carpe Diem!!!!
BTW, wanted to note about your post but I didnt want to put it on your post...*long thought involved in it*

I think you would know best if "The Big D" is the right option for you. I will support you and any decision you make.

I did like the idea of maybe even going to counseling yourself if he wont go. I dont think it would do any damage.

My thoughts are always with you hun.

Re: Carpe Diem!!!!
The only problem is that we literally don't have a penny to spare right now.

 

I'm just not sure if I care anymore! Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

Re: Carpe Diem!!!!
Thankyou very much Flashflood! I know, the camera seems to love Savannah. I agree, singing together seems so rare these days. How sad.

Re: Carpe Diem!!!!
She does photo well. Must be nice. Keep the camera clicking.

Re: Carpe Diem!!!!
I figure I will continue to take her picture until she reaches that awkward stage of teenager-dome that says "EWWW dont take my picture!!!". Take advantage of it now.

Re: Carpe Diem!!!!
Yeah...raising a teenager is like nailing jell-o to a tree. But hey if you don't like how Savannah dresses take lots of pictures.  That way when she gets older she'll say: What was I thinking.

Re: Carpe Diem!!!!
Thats like looking at pictures of your parents as teenagers!! But then again I look at my picture of me on my ol' Banana seat bycicle wearing my green and button print corduroy pants. I just repeat in my head that it was mom's fashion sense...not mine. *rolls eyes and laughs*
foreverknight on
Re: Carpe Diem!!!!
Ack, forgive me. I meant Bicycle.. not bycicle. Sometimes I type without thinking. I had to correct myself.

Re: Carpe Diem!!!!
lol...I do the same thing. I like to blame my mom, after all she payed for the cloths.
