A couple of weeks ago we went for a nice hike in the woods. And by "hike", I mean a stroll along a smooth path whose length was under one mile. We have been to this park before, but had never actually taken one of the designated paths. It was sunny and warm and the boys were freshly awake from their naps. I was just itching to get out in the local nature and see what spring flowers were blooming. Mill Hollow's woods did not let me down! Our little path took us through a wooded area that flitted about with a wetter / boggy area. There were lots of maples, hickories, a few ashes, sycamores, oaks...and lots of ferns :-)
The boys held up well. Tamlin climb on and over every rock or fallen log that we came across. It was fun to point out cool things that we saw together...mushrooms, spiders in their webs, smelly flowers, even a little garter snake. Jude started well, but got a bit more ornery toward the end. He has worn his croc shoes and often got little rocks in them (note to self...no crocs next time). He got tired and wanted carried...and then wanted down to chase Tamlin...and then wanted up because he was tired (repeat). But there were still many smiles and ice cream afterwards.
Yes...we are a hat family.
