Beautiful Weather

I'll start with Friday night because I think it was kinda cool for Jeremy. The youth pastor he works with knows a guy who works at Nationwide Arena. He invited people to come play basketball on the court that was put down for the Women's NCAA bball tournament. So, Jeremy and eight other guys went to play in the big arena. He said it was pretty cool, but a lot of the lights weren't on and some guy kept flashing large camera test flashs at them... something about getting the cameras ready for the game? He also said because it is so big, your depth perception is off. I imagine it would be.

Saturday, we took advantage of the beautiful day God gave us and went to John Bryan State Park to hike and enjoy the day. It is considered one of the most beautiful parks of western Ohio. It was pretty. There is a big gorge and a few waterfalls. We did the 5 mile trail along the rim, dipping down to the river area as well. It is where the Little Miami runs. There were many boy scouts there, but not so many that it felt crowded. We also did a little drive through tour of Yellow Springs. It reminded us of the artsy towns in Colorado we would visit. We didn't stop and spend time there, but it had some really cute looking shops and tons of local cafes. We did go to Youngs Dairy. It is quite the destination. They have Jersey Dairy cows that you can go see and pet them, as well as the goats and calves. Then, you can eat the delicious flavors of ice cream made from the milk of the cows on the farm. You can also order other food from the restaurant. The also have a Putters and Udders area, a mini-golf course. We just petted some animals, ate a hot dog, and slurped up some milkshakes. Very good day.

Today (as we did Friday and Saturday) we continued watching the March Madness games. We were still tired from our big expedition yesterday and did little to enjoy the weather today. Sad to admit we are out of our superb hiking shape from Colorado (note a hint of exaggeration there). I hope everyone has a good week ahead. Look for God in the little things, and thank Him for the blessings of life.
