It has been such pretty weather down here the past couple of weeks. Not at all like our neighbors to the north have been experiencing. (Sorry, y’all.) As such, we have been taking full advantage and spending lots of time outside. Rory and I took a long walk to the levee one morning last week, and he loved climbing on the rocks by the lake.
Then last Sunday, after a lazy start, we fed the kids lunch outside in the backyard, piled them into the wagon, and set off for the levee. We gave them suckers for the ride, which Riley thought was awesome.
When we got over the hill, Riley jumped out and took off running down the other side. He immediately started picking “dandelions” (which were really clovers) and made sure to get one for each of us. Then he picked another bunch from a different patch just for me. Sweet boy.
The boys both loved climbing all over the rocks, and Riley especially loved finding pieces of driftwood that he threw back into the lake. It’s his favorite.
We walked all the way down to the pump station, which is about a mile away. Rory ran/walked all by himself, all the way there. And Riley ran a decent distance while pushing the wagon. Did I mention that this was during their normal nap times? Yeah…..wear your little butts out, boys. Sleep good that night.
They got into the wagon for the very windy walk back, and then we stopped by the playground before going home. Such a wonderful day.
I hope the weather is this nice when parades start next weekend. That’s right, it’s the start of Carnival 2015, people…..
Cue the flambeaux.
