A Surprisely Great Day

This morning I had to run to the city to pick up some items for an upcoming baby shower I am helping with. Two of the boys were busy with camps so that left Kenna, Cade and I to run errands.  We got what we needed and decided to treat ourselves with some "Sprinkles" cupcakes.  On the way in we had driven by the water wall (which I have never visited) and Kenna suggested we eat our cupcakes there.  With a bit of time on our hands, we parked the car and got out.  It was an amazing sight!  The power of all that water pounding down, mist showering your body - it was captivating and somewhat magical.  The kids ran and danced and looked on in wonder as their sweaty bodies cooled under the droplets. 
 Right by the wall, was a green area where we plopped ourselves down and enjoyed our purchased yumminess.  And joy upon joy, there were pigeons and squirrels everywhere!  Cade chased them, shared his train with a squirrel, and helped us toss crumbs from my purse to our new little friends.  It was delightful, carefree, and joyful.  We were in the moment - nothing was planned, nothing was crucial - maybe that's what made it feel so perfect.
