a simple day

I took the kids up to the nature observatory today (right down the street from our house) and we spent nearly two hours wandering the trails. So simple. So fun. 

Ben fell asleep and Brooklyn & I bird watched, played in the dirt, picked flowers. She kept picking up huge dirt clods, telling me they were "a birds nest". Love the imagination these days. She also saw a fellow nature go-er and yelled out "hey, is that nice lady going to say hi to us" at the top of her lungs. The nice lady turned around and was a dude with a pony tail. Hey, she just called it like she saw it. He was actually very sweet and let her look through his binoculars at the heron's on the water.

Wonderful Monday.
