FEELING THE NEED TO CREATE

I'm a little obsessed with pinterest.com right now. I'll admit it. I'm not ashamed! I love all the ideas; ways to change up my house; projects to do with the girls, etc.

This headboard stuck out to me, and I just had to attempt to make it. Well, I should say, I told Ben about it, and asked him to attempt it. He did a fantastic job!

Day 2:
The Animals
We Met
In the Northwoods
(there were more, but didn't get pics of them all)


These kittens were too cute.
Almost took one home.
Ben's not a huge fan of cats.
I'm kind of surprised he held one.
Of course, Emma loved them.
However, their little claws, she did not enjoy!


Horses are such beautiful animals.
Norah kept growling at them and doing her crazy shake!

(Sorry for the back end view, but couldn't get a shot of them together.)

The Northwoods of WI
(Taking it all in)


Captivating view
No words to describe the beauty
No words to describe the quiet serenity

Lots of sitting with feet dangling,
listening to trees blowing in the breeze
Lots of time balancing on wooden beams,
flitting about like butterflies

Discovering new "toys" to play with

The "quiet" is so peaceful,
you could almost fall asleep,
which some did gracefully
while others,
you wonder how on earth that could be comfortable
Rest seemed to be the word of the "day"/ trip to the Northwoods.
More to come...
