We've been dealing with some cold weather around here. But we also have two boys who need to get out and run around, so we've been braving the cold to go take a walk (or run in Rudy's case) in the woods.
Last weekend we went to Estell Manor Park. The weather was finally going above freezing, but a lot of the water was still frozen.
The boys had fun through pine cones on the pond and watching them bounce across the ice. It was also very foggy in some places.
A ring of ice in a puddle.
Running, running, running. The best thing about being in the woods- unlimited places to run!
And lots of things to jump, climb, and explore.
Today we headed to Birch Grove Park. Once again, Rudy immediately went into flight mode and left us behind.
Paul and N brought up the rear.
Part of Rudy's plan with running ahead seemed to be to try to climb things he thought we'd say no if we were closer. I just warned him that if he got wet, we would have to head home immediately.
N had fun picking up sticks and throwing them into the water. He actually walked the whole time; we didn't bring the stroller.
Of course, after about 45 minutes of walking around, this was my view. But he rallied and got up and made it to the playground.
