A magical walk


Yesterday evening Ashley, Amanda, and I took the dogs to Bryan Park for a walk. The sun was out when we started but by the time we made it to the park big dark clouds rolled up on us. Down came the rain but it wasn't too bad that we had to end our walk. So partly covered by the trees we trekked on through the rain. The fun began with the rain actually because it was light enough and not too cold. We rounded the azalea's with bright colors of lavender, hot pink, light pink, white....and the trees with budding green leaves. The dogs were extra frisky with joy of playing in the rain and puddles. The rain eventually stopped and out came the sun again but this time joined by a rainbow, and not just one rainbow but two! From one end to the other there were two beautiful rainbows we wanted to catch. We came upon a clearing by the tennis courts and soccer fields to stop and take in the majestic beauty of sky. We were giggly with joy over how pretty the rainbows looked and wonderment about where the pot of gold was. Well to me, the gold was that walk spent with the girls, the dogs, and the nature. Sometimes you want more and you want to do more but really it it is moments that are as simple as a walk in the park that can really make you feel as though you have everything you need. I am loving how sappy this blog is sounding but deal with it.
Random note: On our way back Ashley spotted (hence her finger pointing) a baby bird egg which was sad but pretty at the same time. I thought I would add this pictures b/c it just went along with all that we were discovering on that spring evening.
Random note #2: Thank goodness for Amanda and never being without her phone. She was able to document our walk with her camera phone, thanks for the pictures A!
