Little Explorers

 Yesterday afternoon the blue sky and sunshine begged us to go outside. I bundled up Finley and stuck him in the wrap in anticipation of a nice long walk with the littles. When Joseph made his way downstairs after his nap I dressed him in his snow gear and we joined the older two outside. Before making our way to the trail we hung up our homemade bird feeders on the front tree. 

 Camilla did up some lovely hearts.

 Hyrum made some pointy stars.

 They look super cute on our tree!

 As we walked towards the walking trail I reminded myself to give the kids some space and let them explore and enjoy. Camilla found a stick when we arrived at the walking trail and Joseph always took up the tail end.

 Hyrum intently studied every puddle and piece of ice he saw in his travels. It was pretty cute watching him get his face nice and close to check everything out.

 Finley slept through it all, but enjoyed the fresh air I'm sure.

We had a lot of fun and the littles burned a lot of stored up energy.
 
The walk home took twice as long and I was constantly calling out to Joseph who would stop and examine his surroundings quite frequently. I had to remind myself at least 100 times to let him enjoy and take it slow. We really had no reason to rush home, except that Hyrum really had to pee!
