We had another successful day with friends at Greenway Farms. This time we met up with plans to picnic. We followed our favorite trail through the woods which means stopping at the "haunted cabin" and then finding the teepee in the woods and adding limbs to it, and finally picnicking in the big field. While the mamas talked, the kids raced off to play hide-and-seek and tag under the huge oak trees. It's a great way to spend a Friday.
Check back on Fridays to see our weekly outings.

Greenway Farms is one of our favorite local haunts. There a trails through woods. There is an abandoned cabin that the kids think is a haunted house. There is a creek to throw rocks in, wade in, or paddle. There is a rock quarry and a huge field to run in. There is a dog park to observe other people's dogs at.
In short we love Greenway Farms.
On this visit, we followed the trail through the woods, meandering by the "haunted" cabin. The kids worked on adding to a teepee made of branches that they discovered in the woods and the boys stomped right through the middle of an enourmous mud puddle. Finally, they raced across the huge field and threw rocks in the creek.
Toward the end of the hike, Isaac fell down and gave me quite a scare by landing smack on his forward. Thankfully he seemed fine and didn't get a concussion from the experience.
We are always thankful for time with friends. We love our days spent with friends ––we normally meet up on Fridays, but Wednesday is a good day to hang out too!
And any time we can spend in the woods is icing on the cake.
We had time to kill before meeting up at Greenway Farms, so as a bonus to our day, we also went to Vandergriff Park to ride bikes. It was a good way to end our week.
