Refreshing Time

While this time of year can seem busy at times, it is always nice to enjoy the refreshing parts.

 

Like the cousins dogpiling on your brother on a Sunday family Christmas.

Not to mention the looks on some of their faces.

A time when you can gather the entire family. Not a single one of the Wingerts was missing that Sunday.

A time to really notice how much your "little cousin" has grown up.

A time to enjoy a bit of the beauty of snowfall. I was asked to take some promotional photos around the park. Here are some of my favorites:

This is my absolute favorite from the favorites that day. It gives you a real sense of where we are at.

A time to see one of the newset members of the family be the center of attention in all her cuteness.

Christmas is a great time to enjoy hanging out in a great dress.

A time to see how all grown up we are all getting. We had most of the Boschen crew on Christmas Eve.

A time to put on an elf hat and smile with the Santa baby.

 

A refreshing time to partake in a First Day Hike. I led a group of 14 people on a 1.3 mile hike to kickstart 2015. The first day hike initiative is put on by the American Hiking Society.

A time to enjoy a beautiful crisp day along a trail in the woods.

A time to make memories with your family. There were 4 diferent groups of families on the hike I led on New Year's Day.

A time to stop and think about how refreshing that mildly crisp hike was.

A time to enjoy where we are at. Here is the First Day Hike group at Ponca State Park:

Hope you all have a great start to the new year. Enjoy some of the refreshing moments, and keep smiling. :-)
