Playground and Alex Learning to Walk

We went to the playground where Alex showed how much of a daredevil he was by going head first down the slide repeatedly.  Later on in the day Alex practiced his walking.

Water Bottle Holder

We have been taking several family hikes and I have been taking the kids on smaller (non-posted) hikes when AJ is at work. I thought Brooke would like a water bottle holder to carry her own things when she hiked. She loved the idea and helped me pick out the fabric and buttons for her and Alex’s water bottle holder. I SEWED THESE! Which for an uncrafty (by choice and by skill) person I was pretty happy with how they turned out. Brooke loves hers so much and I hope Alex will too in a year or so when he can use it.

Hiking Sandy Bottom Nature Park

Today we hiked the beautiful Sandy Bottom Nature Park in Hampton. We had never been and did a lovely 3 mile hike around two lakes and through a wilderness preserve of wetlands. Everyone had a wonderful time!
