A November day, three years ago, my sister Mary and I were visiting the family in Ohio. She was walking with her two great nephews and youngest great niece and Murphy the Airedale (RIP Murph we miss you) to greet Anna as she came home on the school bus.
The adventure may not seem epic in scale compared to some of the other entries, but when you’re almost 3, 4+ and 6, walking the dog and riding scooters down the block to welcome your big sister( 8) home is pretty exciting.
I like the feel of the wind, the weather, the line of the five of them, making their way to the bus stop at the end of the road.
Love it and wish I could go along : ]
My philosophy is one makes their own adventures. Sometimes I feel its an adventure to walk outside. Cute picture!
Oh, I can just imagine the anticipation of hearing all about that day at school. Definitely an adventure. 🙂
what a great mood here. children have the sense of adventure down to a fine art – and it turns out that adventure is a celebration of the moment every day here and now, rather than looking forward to some official travel destination. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your lovely comment on the “everyday here and now”
What a refreshing and beautiful adventure post, Ruth!
Thanks Amy. I love to see your purple flower gravatar in the “like” row today
Your post and photo made me smile on this Saturday morning 🙂
Waking up to your good words, affirming my choice of adventure close to home, makes me smile too 🙂
What a lovely piece, although poignant (RIP Murphy).

Not all adventures involve pirates or zombies or the forces of evil. Some of the best are right there, under your nose … er … lens. 🙂

This kind of adventure is more special for all involved.
A wonderful adventure indeed Ruth, and haven’t the children grown since then (which of course is what children do, I know . . .). And a lovely memory of Murphy!
Yes, they grow fast. Thanks Patti. Murphy was such a part of the family.

Adventure is in the mind of the beholder – and this one looks epic in its own right. 🙂
