Smile 1: Walking up to find rainbows in your house:
Smile 2: Being shown a local park with lots of outdoor gym equipment – basically a grown ups playgroups – and spending an hour playing. (Note: Don’t take a photo while using a thingy like this one. You end up falling off and bruising both your pride and your shin)
Smile 3: Getting back to your car just as a huge, unexpected hail storm hits (Note: Don’t count your chickens as that five minute drive home may turn into 22 minutes when you get really lost…)
Smile 4: Finally getting to see the seat that Himself told you about months ago:
Smile 5: Reading this and thinking what an amazing person he must have been for his friends to do something so incredibly thoughtful in his memory:
Smile 6: Enjoying the view from the seat:
Smile 7: Even though it was so windy you end up with matching hair:
Smile 8: Going out in the dark, being taken to a secret location to see ‘For the birds’ which was absolutely amazing (and photos don’t do it justice):

We certainly fit a bit in at the weekends at the moment. And lots of smiles too :o)
