Beauty in Simplicity

In the midst of dancing with this stomach virus we were able to have a beautiful weekend. Saturday was our big day. We started the day looking for a swing for Madeline, and ended up with so much more. We started looking at our Walmart and went on an adventure. They didn't have any so we took our search to Lafayette. Mom had suggested
earlier in the week that we go to Parc San Souci and play in the water fountain. For all who haven't been there...It's a beautiful little area that includes a gazebo, park benches, and a largewater fountain/spout in which you can play. It's perfect for festivals and community gatherings. Well we went and the fountain was on, YAY! We all had a blast. We then went to visit Poppie's grave. We watered his flowers, and went on with our adventure. We went to three other stores before finding Madeline's swing. We hurried home to put up her swing, but before we left Lafayette we had to do a Didi driveby. We just peeked in to say 'hello'. Once home, we set up the swing (which Madeline loves), and let Emma swim in her pool. We truly enjoyed our simple blessed day.

It's amazing how we live in a world that wants us to believe the more we have, the more we get, and having the best of everything defines who we are. Having the newest, most expensive toys does not guarantee happiness, it's the simple things that mean the most.
