exploration pictorial
on the water, kind of
I took the day off so Leah could go to a dentist appointment, and the boys and I seized the opportunity for another adventure. We went in search of water, since the last trip didn't deliver so much in that direction; today we took the bike so we could get a little further afield and explored Hartwell Brook, the Shawsheen River, and the Old Bedford Reservoir. Without any further comment, here is our adventure in pictures.
ready to go
over Shawsheen River
a little downstream
a pause from playing on the bank
off the bike...
... and into the woods
this was his boat for a while
checking out a baby Christmas tree
this stream is too little to have a name
the big water
proud of his winter exploration prowess
oops! still fun though!
Zion got up and, better-mittened, stayed out on the ice until I convinced the boys it was time to head home for lunch. Can you believe it: a three-hour outing and only one small container of crackers for a snack?!
I promised them we'd go back later this winter when the ice is thicker and we can slide all the way across the pond. We're all looking forward to it.
