Hike Night

In the craziness that is Spring on a farm we have had to push the stop button. One night, once a week, we pack up our dinner and leave.

Sometimes we eat in the car, sometimes on the trail, but no matter what, we go hiking.

We have to. We need to recharge. Even when you forget that your family will indeed need to actually "eat".

You mean to tell me that these people want dinner every single night??? But they already had breakfast! Aaaannnndd lunch! Here children and hard working husband, drink some water for dinner.

Obviously, I would never actually only offer water for dinner, unless someone gave me an attitude, but that is a whole other post. I'd offer them all a banana and milk smoothie..... That'll fill 'em up.

So what is a mama to do when she needs to feed her family the day before grocery day, and she forgot to pull any meat out of the freezer? Not to mention it needs to be pack-able.

Well, I did what I always do when I need direction for my life. I headed on over to my favorite blog. Thank goodness for Shaye and her Irish Farls!

And thank goodness for hike night.

And family time.

And being unplugged from our to do list.

And getting to watch a male Grouse do his thing to try and impress the ladies. He was pretty awesome. He was strutting and dancing and making his Grouse noise just a few feet from us.

And thank you Lord for food.
