So since I just can't bear to stay home or inside for an extended period of time we went "hiking" today. Mark was so excited you can't even believe it. (
haha) It was that or read the Elmo Potty book for the 4
th time that day (he loves the book but has no interest in the actual potty) so everyone agreed. We took our back pack carrier, which we have never used, and set out on our adventure. It actually was a good walk there- shady for the most part. Noah took a snooze as you can see and was oh so cute huddled against daddy. When we got to the creek area Jacob loved floating his trains in the water and throwing them in for a swim and letting mommy
retrieve them. We saw lots of tadpoles, bugs, a tiny turtle, and a lizard. Jacob loved it, not so much the walking, but everything else. The walk back was a little tougher as Jacob was getting tired and did not want to "hike." So mommy carried Jacob on her shoulders and Mark lugged Noah up the rather large hill at the end for a nice calf workout. We made it though and got some cute pictures. I think that is one of the things I so enjoy about having kids is thinking up stuff that you think they will enjoy and watching them explore and laugh and just be a kid. It makes me slow down a little and try not to be so task oriented- a work in progress of course.
