A Family Adventure (on a Monday)

On Monday, it was such a beautiful day that we took the jogging stroller out (thanks again, Kim! We love it!) and went to get Danny from school. He was so excited when he saw that we had the jogging stroller.

When we got home, Danny didn't want to get out of it and I explained that we were going on an adventure and he would have to walk if he wanted to go. He got out and waited patiently as we got the kites together and headed for the clearing by the fountains.



Once we got there, the kids went crazy and were running all over the place. Kamal and I got our kites out and even though there wasn't much wind, we got the Spiderman kite up a few times. This was the first time that the boys have really seen kites flown and it was amazing to them. We all had a lot of fun.

Last week, Kamal, Austin and I went on a walk by the creek while Danny was at school and found a huge tree growing on its side on the other side of the creek. We decided to take Danny on Monday on "The Adventure". To get there, you have to cross the creek so of course, Danny and Austin thought this was great fun. Austin even picked up a walking stick to help him on his way. Once we got to the tree, everyone had a blast climbing it and posing for pictures. What fun! Sometime soon, I'll have to host a playgroup there for the more adventurous. The kids think it is so wonderful and I have to admit, it feels like you're in the middle of the forest. Very secluded.









After we got done, we crossed the creek one more time and headed to the bridge to feed the fish. Then, it was, "HI HO, HI HO, it's back from work we go!" The kids had a fantastic time and we will definitely be doing that again soon.
