{yes to adventure!}

Today we took the boys back-to-school shopping and I was beyond excited to go to Target and Panera (they are an hour away!) so I decided a quote about adventure was in order...

After the ink...

I think my favorite part is the little "Yes!" flag on the mountain...

The idea of sticking your "Yes!" flag in things that excite you is fun, right?

I wanted a vintage 80's color vibe on this one and when I googled that phrase this is what I found...

So awesome right?! 😂 But the colors were exactly what I was looking for. 

So I guess you could say I gave this one a little "Who's the Boss" treatment. Here's how it turned out!

This might be one of my all time favorites. It makes me happy and kinda want to climb a mountain, or at least go on a hike. 

Hope your weekend includes some adventure!

XO,

{yesterday}

I woke up an hour before the boys.

I left my phone untouched on the bedside table.

I made some iced coffee and read this book for an hour.

I woke the boys up with an enthusiastic smile and promises of an adventure.

We took Happy Meals to the park.

The boys went down slides of the bumpy and twisty variety.

We watched a semi truck dump a mountain of soft mulch next to the playground.

We inspected the mountain to see how it felt. 

We admired an allosauraus and a mastadon. 

We looked at coral and fly wings under a microscope. 

We touched a live snake.

We bought mystery books.

The boys drank ginger-ale and ate sweets.

I devoured a grilled cheese with bacon.

We found treasures we couldn't live without at Hobby Lobby.

We watched How to Train a Dragon and napped {OK...I napped}

The boys went on a ghost hunt in the grocery while I filled the cart with milk and grape jam and frozen pizza.

We played tennis in the yard, the concrete driveway between us our net. 

We threw a frisbee.

Ben practiced his yard sliding skills.

Landon filled his new treasure box with crayons.

Ben drew superheroes. 

I drank too much lemonade. {is that possible?}

I think I delivered on my adventure promise. 

I want to have more of these kinds of days. 

Evidence of the allosaurus...
