Perfect Day

Today was an absolutely beautiful day here in Strasburg. The sun was warm and it was about 70 degrees outside. After Gracie's nap, I decided that we could not waste this perfect day. I gathered up the diaper bag and Gracie and we headed to the park. A few minutes after we arrived, every other mom in Strasburg got the same idea. There were about 20 or so little kids, most of them boys, in shorts and t-shirts running around trying to savor what was left of fall.

Gracie had a great time. She's much more independent now that she is more sure of herself, and she ran around the park and climbed on things- occasionally asking for help. She especially enjoyed the swing.

After an hour or so at the park, I wasn't ready to go home yet, so we stopped by my favorite second hand store and looked through the books. Gracie got 5 books and a puzzle for $2.32. (I am good aren't I!) Then we stopped by to see Daddy at work. His co-workers "ohhh-"ed and "ahhh"-ed over her and she showed Daddy her finds from the store. Still not wanting to go back inside, I took Gracie to Food Lion to get a few things that probably could have waited--but it was such a nice day!

There weren't enough warm sunny days this fall, well here anyway. It seemed like it rained too much or it was too cold to take Gracie out. I am glad that mother nature gave Gracie and I one more day in the sun before we have to cower back in our little apartment for the winter.
