Bright, Sunshiny Day...
Saturday morning the sun made a glorious, warm...brief...appearance!
It was much too nice to stay cooped up inside all day.
I ran through the plethora of places I could take the kids...wondering which ones would actually be feasible with me flying solo. (I have been known to try and accomplish too much on my own!!!)
The winning destination...
Reedy Creek Nature Preserve.
Perfect for a day of exploring...
a bit of investigating...
...and just chillin!
After taking a tour of the Nature Center we were off on our walk hike!!!
We set out with high hopes of reaching the Robinson Rockhouse...
which we learned was about TWO miles away!!!
After about twenty minutes of walking hiking...
we decided to change route to Dragonfly Pond...
much more adventurous!
At some point, everyone had a walking stick.
The older two used it for just that...walking...
Jackson's stick alternately became a sword or gun (depending on the "bad guy" he was fighting)...
which of course made the trail all the more slow exciting!
We took plenty of rest stops...
enough to catch our breath...or catch up period!!
And after all that hiking...it was time to PLAY!!!
It was such a fun, inventive play ground that kept the kids busy for a very LONG time!
The two youngest spent the most time in this super huge sandbox.
Yes, I did let Hailey play in the sandbox! GASP!!! :-)
And she probably did get a fistful of sand into that mouth...and some in her socks...and pacifier...etc!!
But then I put her in the swing to try and "shake" it all out of her!!!
She didn't seem to mind!
A super fun Saturday.
A repreive from missing Daddy.
A special time of making memories!
