A Perfect Day!

We headed for the Nature Center this afternoon around 3:30.  I did Hope's hair this morning and she had a quick rest so that she could be ready for her 3 year old pictures!  Daryl and the other 2 kids tagged along with us.  We met my parents there and we had fun trying out the new lens that my Mom just got for her camera.  I'll do a separate post with some of our favorite pictures of Hope.  She did great!

 Aliyah gave "Callie" to Daryl so that she could have her hands free to throw stones into the stream!  She doesn't give her baby up for much . . . but she does love throwing stones!!  Priorities!

 Exploring the stream with Grandpa and Grandma

 Love this picture.  My big 3 year old girl!

 Samuel needed Grandpa's help to get some stones of the stream.

 Reaching for more stones out of the stream so the kids could throw them in again.  Repeat again and again. :)

 I'm pretty sure they were watching me lose my balance and get a muddy butt!

 Climbing on the fence.

 Pretty girl!

 Dancing and playing on the path

 Samuel loves looking at maps.  He's always trying to figure out where he is, where we've gone, and where we are going!  Maps, mazes, numbers, and sports are his most favorite things.

 Tree Climbing 101 with Daddy

 That's a cute monkey in that tree!
 They both loved climbing the tree.  I see more of this in our future!

 Aliyah doing "tricks" (as she called it) and jumping off of the stump.

 Samuel showing Grandma (and her camera) how he could balance on one foot on the rock!

Tossing the football.  He's got a good spiral throw!  Probably better than mine. :)
