Our neighbors spontaneously invited us to go to “Beethoven Park” with them one Saturday in October. (We call it that because it has a museum in a chateau where Beethoven stayed for a time.) I’m not a very spontaneous person, and was actually sick, but decided to go since it was such a nice day and to just be with the kids.
Sienna and I had never been to Beethoven Park before. When I was pregnant with her (and very sick) Gary took Ethan and his parents one afternoon when they were visiting. It’s only about a 20-minute drive from our house, so it’s amazing that I’ve not been there in all of these years.
It looks like Nathan and Ethan were “fishing”, but they were actually putting large leaves in the water and then using these sticks to move them around.
We had a picnic lunch with the Strellmans in a nice, sunny spot by the pond and these huge, beautifully-colored trees behind us.

Another interesting find for the kids.

I was so thankful that we were spontaneous and joined the Strellmans. We all had a good time and enjoyed a warm day in October as well as God’s beauty in creation.
