A Hiking We Will Go...

We went on a hike with my Dad and some of our lovely friends a couple of weeks ago. It was wonderful to be outside and watch the kids explore!

"Mommy, look! That stick is shaped like a Y!"

One of Lyric's favorite activities is finding sticks shaped like all of the letters of the alphabet.

My boys love to play with sticks and rocks. They could literally spend hours tossing stones into a pond!

Shepherd has been making this face a lot lately... it cracks me up! I love those lips.

We discovered some critters while we were on our hike. Adorable baby turtles, a caterpillar and hundreds of tadpoles!

My sweet silly boy! This is the ornery look Shepherd gave me when I asked him to look at the camera.
