Exploring

It was the first nice day since we moved into our new house. Bentley got a backpack for his birthday from Josh's parents that he absolutely loves. He said he wanted to go camping, I told him maybe it would be fun to go exploring, instead. He jumped all over that and wasn't very patient when it came to packing his bag full of neccesities. He packed some water, snacks, a shovel and a bucket. We packed Lyza a back-ack, too, but all she cared about was the snacks which didn't even make it into the bag. we went to an empty lot across the street and started exploring. Both of the kids found some interesting "treasures" that they filled the bucket up with. We finished up at the park. It ended up being the perfect day. It reminded me of my mom who took us out exploring when we were kids. I will always remember searching for dinosaur eggs and burying them in the dirt in hopes that they would hatch. The best things are free :) Thanks for teaching me too be creative mom, I love you!
