Our last day of Spring break was bitter sweet. We enjoyed great times with family and friends as well as completing some home projects and getting a NEW fridge!! But all good things must come to an end and so we spent our last day getting chores done and taking advantage of the BEAUTIFUL weather. Claire is very interested in being outside(well, who isn't?) so we decided that she was ready for hiking. In small doses, of course.
So off to Gun Powder we went! She had an INCREDIBLE time sloshing through the mud, it happens to be one of her favorite activities, hiking or not :-) The foliage was gorgeous and I could have stayed there all day....unfortunately, Claire's long but still little legs gave up around the 3/4 mile mark(pretty good for a wee one at least, I think!) At this point she said to me: "Mommy, my legs do not want to walk anymore." So off her shoes came and we walked back to the car with her high upon my shoulders.
Jumping off a tree root.
Hanging out on a tree trunk.
"Look Mommy, I'm running in the woods!"
Simply BEAUTIFUL!
My little mud runner!
I really wish that this picture came out clearer
but alas it did not. It is ADORABLE in spite of that though!
Claire and her Daddy enjoying the view.
She is tiny compared to those trees!
Taking in the beauty of the water.
Playing in that beautiful water ;-)
"Mommy, I wanna climb this tree"
She truly enjoyed our journey today.
She has already asked when we are going to the woods again.
"Mommy, I am so sleepy"
