Complete Contrast

There are moments in my life when I realize that the blog title "Haphazardly" may be the perfect fit for this blog.  While we try to foster good habits in our family, we have these completely off moments where we do the complete opposite.  For example, this past week I had Yom Kippur off from work and the rain got in the way of our long hike plans. Rather than hike up a mountain, we decided to walk through the trails and fields at one of our local parks.  We looked at all the changing leaves, followed some caterpillars around, looked for frogs in the pond, sat in the middle of the woods and listened to the wind blowing though the trees, and sat in the middle of a field opening up milkweed pods.  It was a wonderful, completely-in-tune-with-nature morning.  Then............

We ate lunch at a Chinese restaurant. 

 

Another great example(also this past week or so) was going apple picking with Little Man. Once again fostering those healthy eating habits, supporting a local business and just having a great time as a family. Then a week later...........

A visit to the world's largest candy counter. 

As you can see we are still a work in progress and apparently have a long way to go to get where we need to be.
