Do you have a favorite place? One of mine is a little spot called Beus Pond not far from our house. It has a large grass field and a playground, but my favorite part is the pond circled by a walking path and surrounded by trees. It's a very restful place, but not a very quiet place because of all the ducks and geese honking and quacking. Matthew and I like to go there on summer evenings. He takes his bike (he learned to ride without training wheels there a couple of years ago) and we just go round and round. I'll be sad when he gets too big to want to go with me anymore. Spring is a fun time to go to Beus Pond because of the baby ducks and geese, but I think fall is my favorite. It's my kids' least favorite, because that's when I drag them all there to take millions of pictures. (The family picture at the top of our blog was taken there last October.) The colors are so beautiful, I tell them it would be irresponsible of us not to!
A couple of nights ago John, Matt, and I found ourselves alone for the evening while the older kids were off busy with other things. We decided to take a little picnic to Beus Pond together. Matt and John got in a little soccer practice, and we made sure the ducks and geese weren't starving.
This goose was a little too friendly!
I need to know these parents' secret for keeping their kids in line!
Mighty Matt!
