We have been enjoying some pretty amazing weather here (well, off and on...) for the past week or so. We like to take the boys to some of our favorite walking/hiking trails around the area when it's nice out so we've done a fair bit of that lately. I was especially impressed with Mister and Pumpkin last week - we went on a 2+ mile hike, through bushes and over uneven terrain, and they didn't whine or complain once. This was a first for our family. Someone is always complaining that they're tired, they don't want to walk anymore, I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, I want to go home, etc. Not this time. They were such troopers, I was so proud of them. And Baby Bear sat happily (and even took a brief nap) in his ergo carrier for the entire time - not a single squak out of him. :) They slipped, they got a bit muddy, they threw rocks into the creeks we passed and they raced each other all over the place. I think Pumpkin picked every single dandelion he passed so he could blow it and scatter it in the breeze. I'm so looking forward to a consistent return of this amazing weather. Those precious, glorious days that make up for the other 9 months of the year when it's gray and rainy.

Being outdoors with the boys is always going to be an adventure. Glad it is a nice adventure though! Can't wait to spend more time with the boys outdoors this summer.
Such special memories. And the pictures are amazing. Good times.
