Well the weather is finally getting back to Spring temperatures again so the boys and I figured we better take advantage before it starts to snow again! This morning we packed up a picnic lunch, loaded the wagon into the van and we were off to Afton State Park (our favorite getaway and it is only about 10 miles from our house)! The boys were so excited to just be able to run freely and be loud and burn off all that energy they have bottled up for the last 6 months. Colton was an awesome big brother as always, making sure Mason was safe and enjoying his first hike without his stroller! We made our way down to the river and found a picnic table to enjoy our lunch. After lunch we did some more exploring and just enjoyed being outside soaking in the sunshine and fresh air! After two hours we were all more than ready to head back home. Mason fell asleep as we pulled into our driveway and Colton and I spent the afternoon just relaxing. Another perfect Sunday.
Seriously, Colton is an awesome big brother. And he is quite the helper for me on these kinds of outings. Mason would take off running down the path at top speeds and ignore my demands for him to stop while I am chasing him and pulling a wagon but Colton would always come to my rescue... he would catch up to his brother and stop him until I could catch up!!! Love these two!
Looks like a lovely afternoon! You guys are lucky to have such a cool place to go so close to you. PS. Those boys are way too cute!
ReplyDeleteI love Afton State Park. It is a great little gem of a state park and the fact that it is so close makes it even better! We spend many Sunday afternoons at the park in the Spring and Summer and week nights throughout the summer... just exploring and hanging out together!
