When I began this blog I thought it was going to be harder to have nature experiences rather than urban experiences. However, as grandpa found out my boys find nature in almost every activity we do and sometimes it can make for slow going. A walk to or from the light rail, only a mere six blocks, can take an hour: So many sticks to tap. Maple seed pods to put in your hair. Flowers and plants to smell. The mile walk from the grocery, well dinner just might be late.
Our backyard also has become a place where the boys can hang out for hours upon hours. Yesterday they made a "salad" out of grasses, leaves, and a few of the pea plant flowers. They found a "tunnel" to play in under the boughs of the plum tree. They go in and out a "door" made of branches. And now at almost 28 months of age they are really beginning to play with one another which has added even more endurance to the outside play. How can you stop playing when your brother offers you "dinner" and you are expected to snack on it?
