We went to our favorite park, hiked through the woods, and took in the wonder of God's changing seasons.
I believe that boys need plenty of outside time exploring, playing, and just being kids. I don't want to rush my children through childhood.
The boys exploring some moss on a fallen tree.
Throwing rocks into the creek.
On our journey along the trail Big D found a large rock and turned it over. We ended up disturbing an ant colony, and stood for a while watching the ants scurrying about trying to get their house in order. I love times like this, when life slows down for the moment.
As I watched the ants the verse Proverbs 6:6 came to mind... Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and be wise. My oldest son loves this verse! He likes the word sluggard! I had my oldest recite this verse for me while he watched the ants work hard.
These next 3 pictures were all taken in the same spot along the trail, this is where we would regularly stop for our snack.
It's fun to see the changing scenery for the 3 different seasons.

Some pretty flowers we found along the path...
The end of our journey. But never the end of exploring, learning and having fun!
Your pictures are beautiful. It looks like such a wonderful adventure! I especially love the pictures of your boys, in the same place, Fall, Winter and Spring. So neat!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful place to explore and gather treasures! I loved getting to see them in the wilds on the woods.
