Today the family decided that it was just to beautiful of a day to stay at home. So we ventured out...picnic basket and camera in hand...the Moraine View State Park. It is only about 20 minutes from our house, but we have never taken our kids there! My hubby and I both had gone as kids, but hadn't been back there in yearrrrs! They have hiking trails, horseback riding, swimming, boats rentals, fishing....all kinds of stuff! So we spent the better part of the day hiking the trails and playing on the play ground with the kids. It was such a great day! As the day wound down, we were all hungry and thirsty so we started looking for the best place to have a picnic. We stopped at a couple of spots but they just weren't right! As we drove along we found the perfect little spot right on the lake...there was one picnic table under a great big tree right next to the lake....Seriously Perfect. So....we get out of the van...start walking over to the
table and THIS is the sign marking the spot!! How perfect is that...and how weird that NONE of us saw it until we had deemed this area as THE spot!! It was just meant to be!!
We were suppose to venture out, hike, play, laugh and spend time together as a family...and finish the day here....having a picnic, watching the sun set over the lake....perfect!!
For anyone that may read this and saw YAH!! SO!! I don't get it!! Our last name is Huonker....which is actually pronounced "honker"....so you see...this is our spot, our perfect little picnic spot by the lake!
Today made me happy...to know that the simple things really are the things that mean the most!
