Day 11: Noland Trails

Today's positives:

1: This may not really be a positive but I found it kinda funny... J managed to unscrew and take down the baby gate on their bedroom this morning. I woke up to two little faces peering over me with big grins! Needless to say I will not be putting it back up and I am actually quite looking forward to my new morning wake up call :)

2: S showed off her new clapping skills at breakfast. She was also holding on to fingers and taking steps.

3: We took the kids out for a hike through the local park trails. It was so beautiful. J hitched a ride on the front of S's stroller until I put her in the Moby. J kept saying "Look at the water, it's beautiful.". G found a walking stick the same size as her and carried it the whole way round (I think it was between 2 and 4 miles).
G found a hollow in a tree and got inside pretending to be a fairy. Both G and J posed for pictures in the tree. The breeze was cool but not freezing and the trails were steep and sometimes challenging. PERFECTION! I have been waiting for a long time to take my kids for their first stomp through the woods and it was wonderful.

4: Everyone was pretty tired from the long walk so we had a massive lunch and watched How to train your dragon.

That was pretty much our day.

Church tomorrow :)
