Joy In The Journey

Yesterday my grandsons and I went for a hike. When we got out of the car to start our journey each boy wanted to hold one of the dogs leashes. They did great except the dogs wanted to run and they were pulling the boys little arms out of socket. I told them I would take the dogs and they could just hike. Zack started to run and wanted to get wherever as fast as he could. Brayden was just strolling along, happy as can be just to explore. At first I wanted to tell him to hurry and catch up. Then I started thinking, what's the hurry. Instead I ask Zack to wait for Brayden, he saw that Brayden was having a ton of fun with a stick just exploring, and he thought that was a great idea. Then we all just took our time and enjoyed the journey. We played in the water, climbed on rocks, played pooh sticks. It was a great day, except I forgot my camera, again. They were so cute and I don't have one picture to keep that memory alive. We will just have to go again and make more memories. I love those little boys and I think I am the most blessed Nana in the world to have had them come into my life! Thanks Cami for sharing them with me!

Thanks again for taking them! Zackery said he had SO much fun at Nana's house and that he LOVES hiking. This morning he asked for more seeds. I asked what kind and he said "peppers" I started laughing and asked if he liked peppers. He giggled and said "Nana does. I want to grow them for her". Are you growing any? If not, I'll get him some so he can grow them for you. He is excited. I got some more seeds for him today :) We love you!!!

I love that you slowed down. So much better than trying to hurry the little one up. Thanks for sharing this fun adventure!
