It was a Milano Moment



Lovely view of mountain tops
Our summer has been packed with activities.  Summer camp, karate camp, summer gymnastics classes, road trips, the beach and fun play outside.  But there was on specific moment that my husband and I really got to sit down and watch the kids, with smiles on our faces, remembering how wonderful life really is.

We took a trip to Tennessee to visit my Granny, whom the children had never met.  Granny lives up in the mountains, far from what I would consider reality.  She's got a wonderfully large vegetable garden, from which each meal we got to eat fresh veggies.  There is nothing more delicious than home grown veggies!  Well, except for maybe Strawberry Milano cookies!  She also has a beautiful flower garden along the creek bank that attracts the most colorful butterflies and bees.

For the trip I had packed coolers full of snacks and within the stash of snacks were the single serve packs of Milano cookies.  So after the kids were done splashing in the creek, they were able to enjoy the freshly picked berries and a few Milano's!

I'm telling you, there is something about the country air, the sounds of the water running down the creek, the sounds of the birds chirping, smell of the flowers...it just makes you take a step back to enjoy the moment.  Love the moment, really.
