Straight along a Crooked Path

Straight along a crooked path

Caleb and his walking stick, I think it looks like Tiny Tim's crutch ;)

Silly faces

She's a pistol always has been, hope she always will be ;)

Almost to the top of the rocky slope

Forging a trail, running is the best option

Keeping up

The start to a wonderful day

My loves


ADVENTURE, the word of our year! I have three little amigos who are eager to smell, touch, hear and occasionally taste. Where better to take them to explore their senses then the great outdoors. They can yell and no one cares, they can smell fresh clean air, dirt and trees, they can touch everything in sight and well taste nothing but the snacks we pack for our journey!

Today the amigos and I set out on our first adventure of 2012, Turkey Mountain! There are several great trails for kids challenging enough but at the same time easy enough to forge. They are clearly marked for someone with a bad sense of direction like myself. We set out about 9:30am it was perfect weather. Sun shining through the leafless trees and weather cold enough for a jacket but warm enough to enjoy.

We set out on our journey and had a great time. We choose the yellow/blue trail that took us straight along a crooked path. We started through a meadow and ended climbing a rocky slope to the top where things leveled out. Following the signs and exploring everything from down low to up high. Collecting walking sticks and fun things found of the forest floor.

Caleb at one point said. "I NEVER want to leave this place!" They loved it Adventure #1 complete and utter perfection!

We each left a smile on the mountain today. Something we told the forest we would be back to get! We each took something tangible from the mountain that we would return our next visit! Khloe a cool green leaf and Caleb some bark.

Here are a few pictures of our exploration!
