We went to Radnor Lake for a hike after blueberry picking this morning. I didn’t think it was going to be too much for the boys, but I guess it was. Oh well.
I gave Jonas a trail map and appointed him as the navigator (which was great until he would announce, “Guys, we still have a mile left until we get back to the car!”). Xander was not into being there, so he basically…ran ahead and tried to run off the trail whenever he could, grumbled the whole time, and hit anything and everything with a stick. Roman really dug the nature scavenger hunt I printed out for them and found all sorts of things. He also insisted on carrying (or on me carrying) a gargantuan stick most of the way because it doubled as “his antlers”.
We saw all sorts of wildlife…a buck, four does, a fawn, a heron and her babies, beautiful blue and yellow butterflies, and a log full of turtles. AND we hiked two miles! So there.
