Outdoor Explorers

So we're finally finished with the business of  packing and moving thankfully and we're working on the settling in process.  We found a unique rental a little ways from town surrounded by nature and lots of trees.  The house is working out well for us and the boys.  The front porch is a family favorite and with this amazing Autumn weather we use it!

We have been spending our time walking trails, builiding forts, and entertaining "special' visitors i.e. caterpillars, a turtle, and a family of snails.  We have not had the pleasure of meeting the lizards that live around the porch.  However, the last lizard catching attempt did leave Tru with a tail that he was very fascinated with...talk about science lessons at your front door!

 Then ofcourse we have the "Wildman" aka Liam who would proably happily live most of his life outdoors if we let him.  He can't get enough of being outside.  He is a little explorer.  Levi, who enjoys the outside too, loves collecting rocks.  Anytime we walk outside and he will come back in with both little fists full of rocks.  Isn't it funny the things that a parent will do because their children love doing it.  I  would not call myself an outdoorsy person, but I  love that kids are enjoying the outside stuff and I enjoy that!   So I would say so far the new place is working out great.
