Snowy Day

Oh what fun it is to play on a snowy daaaaa-ay!

We woke up. We ate breakfast. We played outside in the snow. We went for a drive to Black Mountain. We went to Doc Chevy's for lunch in Asheville. We had rest time. We went swimming. We went treasure hunting at Goodwill. We walked to dinner at a Mexican place. We gave the kids baths. We are relaxing.

We also ate a lot of cookies and drank a lot of tea because this hotel has the blessing/curse of complementary fresh baked cookies sitting downstairs next to a display of complementary Tazo teas. We ate cookies before swimming, after dinner, during snack, and a few other times today. I'm sure we all will return to Columbia plumper for the sugar love.

It feels liberating to be somewhere with no agenda at all. We are just here having fun and hanging out together doing whatever feels right in the moment. Our laundry at home remains undone, our home improvement projects are resting, and other normal stuff is just not happening this weekend. Instead we are enjoying the stifled (sometimes) giggles of Wesley and Clare attempting to fall asleep together in the next room sharing a king sized bed.

Ordinary life can definitely wait.
