Dexter Drumlin Hilly Walk - Labor?

This afternoon the children and I went for a hilly walk up and down the Dexter Drumlin. We walked up the hill and down the other side, back up the hill and down the other side around the trail then up the hill one more time for the finally roll down the hill. Yes, I said roll down the hill, the children need something to look forward to when we are out walking and hiking. The roll down the hill was what they looked forward. It was a fun walk seeing signs of fall, trees with hanging branches and pretty grass patches!!

Adriana used to complain while on walks and hikes. I'm so glad she is getting much better at not complaining. The past three hikes/walks we have been on she wasn't complained once!! We really do enjoy family walks/hikes!

The hill that we walked!! The spot in the first picture is Adriana running up the hill. Adriana walking down the hill to meet James and I.

Mama and James pausing as we walked up the hill.

James running down the other side of the hill!

At the bottom of the hill!

Adriana and James rolling down the hill! The video is very funny!! Rolling is fun!

Hay a sign of fall.

I loved the look of this tree. I love trees when there branches hang down!

Wordless Wednesday

James sleeping or is he!!! His eyes almost look like they are open!!

I put a movie on for them one night and this is what I walked in to find. Cute sleeping babies!

I got this idea from a few other bloggers. I like the idea so I will probably start posting at least once a week. Wordless Wednesday!

Labor Day Hike

WE took a hike to help induce labor on Labor Day!!!

No labor but a fun hike anyway!

Why the children wore jackets on a hike I will never know. I told them not to!


Adriana and Daddy playing in and on the trees.

Children running in the woods.

We ran into this fun bridge. Adriana literally tripped into the bridge falling head first along side it! She got up and shock it off. Luckily she didn't fall into the water!

Sitting on the Bridge!

Mama on the Bridge

Relaxing on the Bridge! Mama knew if she sat down she would never get up!!

Playing and watching Daddy play on the rocks in the water. Daddy loves to explore and the children want to do everything he does!!

James sitting on a tree stump!

We are log walkers!

Where is Adriana?

We are tree climbers. We Daddy encouraging her Adriana wrapped her legs around this tree and started climbing! Daddy followed almost taking the tree down as mama said he would. Then James got his turn. He is learning to climb on hike adventures!!

Posing in a tree mama thought was pretty! James is really climbing the stone walk behind the tree!

One of the best parts of going for a hike is all the fun exploring that comes with it. It was a beautiful day and not to buggy. I love hikes in the fall.

Vidoe to be uploaded later!
