6/13: A beautiful, wonderful, all around amazing terrific day

Today started out with a discussion as we were getting ready for church. At the end of the discussion we realized that with the winter and the lack of funds we had become comfortable in our hobbies. I love watching my netflix and Brand loves playing his video games. That's pretty much what we do. But now that the weather is nice and the funds are still low but a little more forgiving, we decided to break out of our little living room shell and just do whatever!
We did the good old Ekhoff picnic as I call it. It consists of KFC goodness and a park :) We decided to go to our spot in Manito Park. It's the spot we always go to, the spot we first said I love you, and the spot Brand chose to ask me to be his wife forever. It was the first time we've gone back since we got engaged and I did get a little choked up. It was so much fun. We discussed how we want to take maternity pictures there when the time comes, take family pictures, and just all in all bring our kids back over and over. It's a pretty plain spot compared to the rest of Manito but that works for us because we usually have it all to ourselves and just have to share it with some squirrels.
After a wonderful time we grabbed our tennis rackets and bought some tennis balls and hit the courts! I've been wanting to do this forever so I'm really happy we finally got to go. It was such a fun workout and it was cool seeing Brand do something he loves and is great at! He taught me how to serve and then we just played around. It was hot and the wind knocked over our water bottle but other than that it was so much fun! I can't wait to go back out there all summer.
Here are a couple of pics from the day :) I know it's supposed to be only one but I couldn't choose. I didn't get any tennis pics because I was too busy chasing the tennis balls everywhere.

The last view is the view of the three treetops. Our place is in the middle of three trees and this is what it looks like when you lie down. I like this because you can see the shining sun..finally!
I can't wait for many more days like this. I love summer :)
