This afternoon Grace and I had a special date and hiked up Bradbury Mountain together. Just the two of us. Holding hands and laughing, taking photos of each other, eating trail mix, and just enjoying each other's company.
When we did this hike on Monday as a family, Grace lamented the fact that she didn't have her art supplies with her, because she'd like to draw the beautiful view. So I brought along a new sketchbook and some markers. She drew the view from the mountaintop, then drew the whole world (the "M" is for Maine and the "P" is for Pennsylvania).
Grace's new book is entitled Hearts for Peace. I can't wait to take more special excursions with her so that we can get that sketchbook filled up. It's kind of fun seeing the world through her eyes for a while.
