Taking a "Hike" :)

Photobucket
Packed and Ready to go!

Yesterday, my daughter spent the afternoon packing her backpack for a "hike" in the local park. I was up for the much needed exercise, and I want her to get to do more before this baby changes her life, so we went as a family after her father came home from work (and after eating dinner of course)!

In her backpack, there was a box for putting found objects into and a water bottle for me and a juice drink for her. She also brought band aids in case anyone got hurt. (In her last visit she got a bad splinter and we had to leave to tend to it since it was bleeding pretty good. She didn't want to have to leave again I guess? She packed two band aids per person, and one band aid for her in utero little sis.)

We "hiked" through the "forest" looking for "clues". This was her game and she came home with a few rocks and odds and ends she picked up while we walked around. After she got tired of walking, she hit the slide and climbed on the equipment at the park. It was a good time!

Afterwards, we hit the grocery store and walked a few laps around there too. VERY tiring day for me! :) Pic of me on the hike on my other blog.

Enjoy the photos!

She is so cute! :) I love that she's using her imagination...good job, Momma! :)

I'm glad you're not stressing too much about Baby #2 staying put until she's good and ready. Things work out for the best when you let God do His job. Enjoy the last moments of one-child family life, cuz Elena's not the only one whose life is gonna change ;)

*hugs* Praying for a safe delivery!!
