3.10.2013 A walk in the woods

 Sunday we headed out to go for a little walk in the woods.  We're trying to enjoy this mild spring we've been having-we've loved every minute of it!  Sunday was a GORGEOUS day.  I told Edgar that I thought it was the nicest day I'd ever experienced since moving here-it really was that nice!
 
 Off on the trail! 
 
 The first part that we went on was a boardwalk.  For some reason Leah feels the need to lay down and look through the cracks...
 
 So pretty...
 
 Eli had a blast on the hike.  I think daddy has found an outdoor adventure buddy!
 
 We then walked on a trail for a long time.  It was completely beautiful.  There were all these root things coming up out of the ground.  Leah said they were monkeys.  I have no idea why.  Now I will always look at them and think of them as monkeys...
 
 Some of the beauty we saw...
 
 
 
 
Gorgeous!
 
 After a while Leah was lagging behind a bit, so she got a ride :)
 
Eli spent a lot of time throwing sticks into the river.  He discovered that they floated, so I think he threw 100 stick in on the hike.  He was so entertained by their floating.
It was a really fun walk.  We probably did just under 2 miles.  Eli didn't bat an eye at that distance-I think he could have kept going.  Leah was a little more...vocal about it, but after a snack and a ride on daddy's shoulders, she was good to go.
Can't wait to go again!!
