Embracing Fun

" Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.
- Anthony Robbins

Ryan and Fiona on a typical weekend morning in the Fehrman household.


Weekends with the Fehrman are all about embracing fun.  As full-time working parents with important, meaningful, and often stressful jobs, we live for Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday -- and strive to be intentional in making the most of these special days together.  Food, play, and outside time usually play a central role and this past weekend was no different.

Friday night Indian takeout was followed by a Saturday morning hike at the Eno River State Park and a long afternoon of playing at Trinity Park.

Gorgeous morning for a 4-mile family hike along the Cox Mountain trail
Saturday evening gourmet grill-out was followed by Sunday morning playtime at Duke Gardens.

And the weekend came to a close with the Trinity Park Neighborhood Association Food Truck Rodeo!
