unplugged

I married an outdoorsy guy.  And we proceeded to have three outdoorsy boys.  I, however, am not outdoorsy.  I prefer soft carpet to rugged terrain.  I enjoy air conditioning instead of heat and sweat.  I like sitting in a comfy chair reading a book and not hiking up and down rocky trails in the woods.

But this weekend, I decided to forgo my likes and trudge on through my list of dislikes.  And surprisingly enough, some of my dislikes became likes.

We loaded up our three rugged boys and our super hyper dog and drove to some pretty fun hiking trails in our city.  We had a blast.  No cell phones, no ipods, no computers or TVS.  Just us.  Just God's amazing creation.  Just the woods all around us.  Oh and turtles, snakes and armadillos.
