Our children are off from school for Easter break from Thursday of last week till Wednesday this week. The weather last Monday was great so we did a little exploration at the nearby woods to break some sweat out of our bodies.
It was a perfect time because there were no mosquitoes around since the land was dry and the trees have not grown fully just yet. We were in full alert though just in case there are some snakes lurking around, luckily we did not see any. We saw some snake holes though but no snake, thanks goodness.
It's always great to break these two away from gadgets.. but.. as you can see my daughter has her iPod with her and that's because she wanted to take pictures and record a video of our journey which I did not mind.
She took a lot of pictures and , on the other hand took pictures of them as we went hehehe. They were amazed how woodpecker can dig deep in the tree.
Mr. Burrito was testing his balance skill on this long branch that fell.
Exploring the woods is something that we always love to do during warm weather because it help us physically and it is a great bonding too. Aside from that, it is also educational as they get to see things that mother nature has to offer that a lot of kids nowadays only sees on TV as they are not into this kind of activities.
This is the end of our fun-journey. We saw a lot of birds, deer track and poop, and we enjoyed the breath of fresh air. Thanks to God for the beautiful day! Glad we were able to enjoy the warm weather because it got cold again for the past couple of days. I wish to have one of those playsets in stafford va from here for the summer. Our trampoline is the only thing we have in our backyard and it isn't enough.
out and about! nature adventure is always fun...take us with you next time!
ReplyDeleteI wish we live near the woods and stream. That would be awesome to take hikes and have picnics.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing quite like taking a hike or a leisurely stroll through a wooded area. I am very glad that you did not encounter any snakes!!!!!! Your children looked like they really enjoyed the outing.
ReplyDeleteIt is really nice to let the kids get out into the woods and explore. oIt opens up so many avenues.
ReplyDeleteNature is amazing but watching kids be amazed by nature is definitely priceless!! So adorable... Great Pics!!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to walk around and have fun outdoors.
ReplyDeleteI want my kids to have a break from gadgets too and enjoy the nature that God created. It's still chilly for us here in WI. I love your photos sis, tell me what camera are you using? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou're so blessed to have kids like them. Outdoor activity like this with family is one of the precious moment in our life.
ReplyDeleteQuality time with kids is simply awesome. Nature tripping is something i love do to.
ReplyDeleteWe love to explore the woods too Mommy Rose :-) Our kids will get along just great. We have a swing sets but it is old now and it is ready to collapse lol. The kids are getting big. They love the trampoline the most :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that there's an area like that near your place. You guys are lucky to be close to nature.
ReplyDeleteIt looks liked they had a great time. I wish I can bring the little kid to the woods as well. The hustle and bustle here in Manila is crazy.
ReplyDeleteOutdoor walks provide a really nice break from excessive gadget use that are kids are growing very fond of as these allow children to explore, exercise, and see the beauty of nature.
ReplyDeleteWow, I would love to do trekking in the woods but not the very scary kind where all I can see are trees. I'm glad your kiddos enjoy the great outdoors. It something kids in this generation should enjoy and appreciate so they will have this love for nature and the environment and respect for the wilds.
