Summer hasn’t started out on the best foot because little A has been sick for about a week, but we have managed to get in a few fun adventures anyway. One of our first stops once school is out is Long Branch Nature Center! Even when Laina was a baby, I took her there. The boys love the nature center, but they are equally enthusiastic about the creek. We spent an hour just throwing rocks, wading in the water, and checking out the birds and bugs we ran into. I love to watch them explore like this…it truly seems to bring them such joy and I’m glad I’m around to see it. Elijah was a bit more adventurous than Austin and spent much of his time in the water (and fell in within the first few minutes of being there!) A fun summer morning. In a few weeks, Laina will be able to join us. 🙂
One thought on “Summer is here! (for the boys at least)”
Just goes to show you that it is the simple things in "life" that will mean the most…rainbows, playing in nature, pools of water, looking for and throwing the right rock and most of all getting wet, dirty and knowing that it will all clean up. They are only little once and let them "play!"
