Duck Pond and a Nature Walk

On Saturday, while Josh was working on the house, the kids & I went to Alton Baker park with Becca, Kelly, and their kids. Each of our husbands were busy that day, so it worked out well for us moms to band together and let our kids enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. It was a beautiful day! We fed the ducks and had a little picnic (some of us got to sit and eat). I'm learning to accept that, in this stage of my life, a picnic can mean eating while standing & holding one kid and running to keep up with the other kid who decided right away that one bite of food was enough for him! I can laugh about it now, but at the time it was overwhelming!

Griffin loved the ducks! Thankfully we brought somewhat fresh bread, because he wanted to eat the bread instead of throwing it to the ducks. (:
Becca with Sadie, Cohen, Ronan, and Griffin--all trying to sit on her little blanket since I forgot to bring one. Kelly ended up having a blanket too, so we were able to spread out.
Next we walked to the Nearby Nature area of the park. The kids had fun exploring and searching for bugs and worms.
John, Sadie, and Ronan led the way.
They came up with some funny ideas about what was in that hole (:
