We took our kids on a hike today. One of my goals this year was to take more time to be with my family in nature.  I want to teach my kids to be quiet and reflective, to soak in their surroundings, to feel free and unrestrained from the structure of society.  Heck, I want to feel free, to experience quiet, to reflect!  

Thank you God for the gorgeous world you created for us to explore and for giving my family and me adventurous hearts.
