saturday at st. ed's

the weather was beautiful on saturday and we were all itching to get out of the house, so we loaded jonathan and diane in hiking backpacks and hit the trails at st. edward's. the trails were pretty muddy, but we made it down to the water and it was beautiful down there (and not as crowded as i thought it would be on a sunny weekend afternoon). madeleine walked the whole way with little complaint, so it was a good outing all around. i always feel accomplished when we get out and do something with three little kids and enjoy the whole time together as a family.

diane spent most of the time by the water snuggled up in randy's lap but did manage to break away for a little while to throw rocks.

i let jonathan out of the hiking backpack, but he wasn't to sure about the uneven, muddy ground, so i held him most the time. 

i love where we live.
