A walk in the park

On a nice Saturday afternoon we loaded the kids into the van and headed to a nearby park that has a great walking trail. The boys love it. Here are some pics from our adventure!
We went a little off the path and followed this stream where it had a lot of fallen trees over it that boys loved to cross. They also liked throwing rocks into the water to see who could get a big splash.
This was the best part for the older two. They loved crossing the big fallen trees and just climbing around. They were always looking for the next tree to cross...hoping it was bigger and a little harder!
This little guy didn't get to do as much climbing and scooting across the trees as the other two. He would have loved to though. He is quite the follower and tries to do everything the older ones do.
This particular tree was massive. I kept trying to get the boys to take a pick by the roots to show how huge it was compared to them but they just wanted to climb the limbs. Of course, they are boys...they don't want to stop for a picture! What was I thinking?! :)

How fun! I am SOOOO anxious for spring! This super cold weather has me itching for a day outside doing anything! By the way, Jackson was very jealous that you guys got snow, (AND a snow day home from school!) The storm missed us completely. When does that ever happen! :)
