Outdoor Wild Wednesday

Wednesday's have turned into our weekly hiking day although usually we end up hiking, biking or heading outdoors several times per week to enjoy nature and not just on Wednesday's. Today was no different. We explored further on a new trail we had only seen the beginning of a few weeks prior and did a little over 3 miles today.

But the biggest reward of the hike was finding a stream and trees at the other side of the dam at the end of our hike before we turned around to head home. We could only imagine what it would look like come Spring/Summer when everything is green. Even in the winter it was still beautiful. This area is one of our favorite spots - the kids love the rocky areas to climb and its so gorgeous peering out to the lake waters below. The rocks and colors are amazing. We stop and stand quietly listening to birds, the wind swaying through the tree's...sometimes its like its just us alone in nature. So calming.

So blessed.

Homeschooling this week...we decided to do a few 'kits' we had laying around - 

And two more early birthday presents for our nearly 13 year old! His BIG early one was his piggie of course! But we couldn't pass these up either to give to him...

Feeling wild and free this day being out in nature.

Live slowly, breathe deeply and enjoy each moment.
