Today was sunny, so we went for a hike down by the American River near our home in Fair Oaks, CA. We brought a picnic lunch and enjoyed the sun on our faces!
Skipping stones
Making bark/leaf rafts
Finding a nest
Picking flowers for Mommy
Finding fish bones
Mistletoe on the oak trees
Collecting interesting river rocks
Seeking out mushrooms
Hiking on trails
An amazing day!
I love that last photo...how much your kids resemble their dad even in the way they sit by the water! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so green and lovely there! I wish it was spring here so we could be doing what you are doing. :0) Soon...for now, lots of snow and ice, though it's starting to melt.
ReplyDeleteOh, I used to sing that song to my babies all the time! It brings back so many wonderful memories. So calming to sing over and over :)
ReplyDeleteGosh, I loved hearing birds and even buzzing insects for a change! We are mostly hearing howling wind these days! Beth
ReplyDeleteLovely photos- your weather is rather different than ours! I had forgotten that song, thanks for reminding me!
ReplyDeleteJealous of your sun! Looks like a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteMany Blessings to you and your family.
