The Great Outdoors

You know what is handy about living in Kentucky?  that things like this are actually in your back yard.

Well... I don't know. Maybe things like this are in everybody's back yard. But just let me believe we are special.

This is a local park near our house that Nick grew up fishing and playing in. The trails are easy and shady and it was all around a good local outdoor activity for our sweet boy. I am not much into hiking, but this type of trail I can handle.

Did I mention there are fish? Because someone was very excited about 'DA FISH!'and also about 'DA WATER!!' and even 'MAMA! MAMA! A STICK! I GONNA THROW IT IN DA WATER!!'

Oh. Don't even start about the turtles.

Henry's first fish of the year. Exciting stuff.  He immediately said he wanted to pet it.  Then thought a little more about it and declared "MAMA PET IT!"

  2. Oh how wonderful! Tim and I used to go walking in woods and parks all the time, but didn't have much chance when I was pregnant and we fell out of the habit. We must make more of an effort as you've reminded me how fun it is!

    I love how excited Henry gets about things. He is growing so fast, but still gorgeous as ever xx
