Busy Week

Hi cows!

We've had a busy week this past week, but we've had some really fun times, too.  Sunday I took the boys to explore a local park/greenway - it's actually the same place we went to take my maternity pictures, but of course at the time all we did was pose for pictures then.

It has miles of trails, but we were a little limited by the stroller.  And by the fact that the wide, hard packed trail we started out on crossed a creek.  A creek that was too deep to take the stroller through. There's a great swinging bridge that goes across the creek...but not workable with the stroller.  But we still had a great time.  We visited the horses and cows, ran back and forth across the bridge while Zachary slept in the stroller, looked at the bugs in the creek and had a little picnic.  My plan is to start going almost every weekend, it was just that great.  This weekend we'll go back to the same place, but the following weekend I'll be able to leave Zachary with my mom and Finn and I will go with my dad to check out another trail that might be stroller friendly.  I'm so glad to find this place; I'm so envious of everyone who has easy access to great outdoor spaces and so very thankful to have discovered that we have a great place so close by.

Swinging Bridge

We had a pretty good picture week, too!  Zachary is just full of smiles these days and we're getting out more, which also makes for better pictures.
