When I started this blog, I started a series called 'Amazing Adventures', usually, these posts were the visual stories of me and my little girl Melanie, getting outdoors and exploring our gorgeous surroundings and reaping the physical, emotional and spiritual rewards of spending time outside and soaking it all in... us girls.... we love to browse... we love to linger in a park, in a scenic downtown and just become one with our surroundings... that's why these posts usually include girly, girls. Men, don't like to walk, just for fun, you need a purpose (ask my brother in law!).
So now, I am so pleased that my sister has introduced the next generation -her wonderful children- to this new way of life.... living for the Amazing Adventures!
Stephanie was all ready with her hat, sunglasses and matching polka dot hoodie- a true Adventurer!
Melanie, an old pro, had her head gear on, and her Happy Face sunglasses ready... and look, Stephanie, was looking over yonder.
Guess where we went? That's right, our favourite park- Lakeside Park- but this time they had all the water works going, it was so impressive for the little kids... check out Cooper getting real thrilled!
Grand-Maman took part in this adventure with her amazing safari wear (LOL)! With this grandchild...
... and this grandchild....
... and what a cool grandchild he is!
Ok, maybe this swing is a little too big????
... and maybe this hat is a little too small...
...now this fits better eh! Look at the effort Stephanie is putting into it!
... and this one, well, it was a little hard for them to figure out, but once they got in, Julie and I were the working mules pulling the thing around.
We showed Stephanie how to throw rocks into the lake, she would pick the wet little ones all the time. What a special teaching moment!
Mother-Daughter big, beautiful pebble beach smiles! I just love how this picture turned out.
The best part of this adventure was watching Stephanie embrace nature. She loved picking the flowers for us all, they were mostly dandelions.... and she was so excited to share with us. The best though, was watching her pick the fluffy ones and give them to us like they were beautiful roses, so precious, so kind and so innocent.
...and most of all was the wonderful teaching moments we shared. Grand-mother showing her grand-daughter how to blow on the flower and make all the 'fluffies' fly, older cousin showing younger cousin how to 'work' the playground equipment, aunt showing her niece how to skip rocks into the water... and Cooper- the boy cousin- well, he just slept- it's a boy thing!
