Saturday morning we decided to get up early and go watch the marathon runners, especially once we learned some friends on ours from Michigan were running/watching! So we went to cheer them on! It was such a gorgeous day! All the trees were beautiful fall colors, it was jacket weather until about 11, then it was hot! Owen said he wants to be a runner! I believe it can happen! That boy can run for hours!!
After the marathon we grabbed some lunch, and the boys got to play at the mall play place for a while! Owen hardly ever is holding still, hence the blurriness!
First thing to say about sunday... i got to sleep in, it was glorious!! thank you husband! Then we went to church and then headed to Maymont Park! It was beautiful! We didn't realize it was so big, we were there all afternoon and has a great time! Owen loved being on an adventure, pretending he was a bear!! There was a bear there, it was sort of a zoo! They had wild animals - children's farm, a nature center, a historical mansion, horse stables, butterfly garden, Japanese gardens and just amazingly beautiful grounds!! Brooks of water, stone bridges, huge glorious tree everywhere!! It was perfect!
After that we met up with my cousin and his fiancé at our favorite local BBQ place! It was nice to chat and hear about their wedding planning!!
The boys were pretty tired and so were we, so we headed home for some rest, and husband and Owen got a lovely bubble bath ready for me, with candles and chocolate. It was so nice! He is such a sweet guy :) I really needed it, so it was extra nice!
It was just such a lovely weekend, I had to post about it! We are hoping this wonderful fall weather sticks around!!
Beautiful! All of it. Thanks for sharing, Amanda.
