Every chance we get we head out exploring.
The kids favorite spots lately seem to be the covered bridges, ponds and rivers.
They will spend hours climbing, collecting and throwing rocks into the water.
I emptied about 5,000 rocks out of my car the other day and each and every one of those rocks were so special and their favorites. Our rock garden is growing fast this year.
I try not to complain because I love that they are enjoying nature and the simple things in life right now. How do I keep it this way?
When we were exploring around the big boulders I found some frog eggs. My little girl begged me to bring some eggs home so we could watch them hatch…so we did. We had our first two tadpoles hatch yesterday. As you can imagine, there were screeches heard from miles away. She is the same little girl who is raising Woolly Bear Caterpillars right now.
Such a precious post. =)
Your children look like they are having fun!
Wonderful photos! I love your little girls’ dresses. Your daughters are darling, and look like they are having a great time.
Love this! We are the same way….I was just telling my husband we need to find some frog eggs for the kids. We had them in several classrooms growing up, and I loved watching them turn into frogs. We’d be so excited at each new phase of ‘froghood.’
I’m sure your kids’ memories of these outings will be some of their favorites. Those are the times I tend to remember most from my childhood. How exciting to observe the eggs and tadpoles..what fun for everyone! I love your girls’ cute dresses, too!
