Exploring In Our Very Own Backyard
My niece and sister have been frequenting our abode this summer and using our pool, picking blueberries and lots of fun walks to the river or through the forest. It’s amazing the beauty to be had with our “backyard,” you simply walk past the pool and enter the Chronicles of Narnia’s, a whole new destination closet leading somewhere entirely different. Isn’t that fabulous?
The heater got turned off in the pool leaving it to be an extra cool morning as well… Cooper opted out of getting in the water but chose to play and splash from the sidelines.
Mommy and Me time!
We entered the “closet” so to speak and the world opened up before our eyes.
They absolutely loved this magical rock where they could hide beneath it.
They grew sick of us telling them where to stand and to “smile,” so off we traveled across the path to the water that filled our eyes with a beautiful glow where the beaver lives.
We stumbled across the beavers home. A place where he has become very comfortable with all the runners that cross this path. He has lived here for quite some time but I personally have yet to see him. I’ve heard he comes out every morning and evening when it’s not too hot out.
We decided we would “wait” for him to show his little tail to us before continuing on in our journey of Narnia!
Waiting for the beaver…
I just love this little gal, she’s my favorite niece in the WHOLE world. Beyond precious!
And she enjoyed the world of Narnia being held in our backyard!
This tree has given it’s life to the Beaver…
“Could that be him?”
Cooper found an awesome curly-que stick that would only be found through entering Narnia and handfuls of dirt to throw in the creek along our way home.
Stopping to play at the park in our neighborhood.
“Bye Park” Our journey is ending.
Definitely lunch time and nap time!
L eaving the world of Narnia was a good thing. These kids needed a nap and their minds needed a break! ;)
We had such a good time exploring the many things which lay within our own backyard. The kids love the pool, walks and water along the way. They tire with all the walking and take wonderful naps upon returning home! (Sigh)
So glorious to have time as family and to do fun things together!
