The Hundred Acre Wood

When we first moved into our house Grammy and Grampy came up to visit and help us get settled in. And while they were up they also did some exploring in our neighborhood. And on a walk one day Grammy found a forest... just a couple blocks from our house! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised since we live in Oregon... it just seemed a little surprising to find it in the middle of a neighborhood. The forest is pretty untouched, other than a little bridge across a sometimes-stream. Grammy and Noah named it the "Hundred Acre Wood" just like the forest in Winnie the Pooh... and it has become of of our favorite places to go.

We have been getting antsy to see some blue sky and sunshine with all the rain, and today was that day! So we packed up our little red wagon, threw the boy's bears inside and headed out to the forest. 

I'm so glad that we had a camera... I don't want to forget our trips to the forest!

Last spring Levi was too little to be doing this... so much changes in a year!

Levi refused to hold Drew's other hand. He needed to hold "Noey's" hand because he "Wuves him so much." to which Noah responded "Yeah, I love you too because I am your big brother."  *swoon*

I love these three adventurers!

Of course we needed to stop along the way and get some rocks.

And then share some rocks...

And then show off his collection.

 

One thing that is so fun about our forest is that on the other side of it is a duck pond. It's always fun when they come out to say hi.

And then hilarious to watch the boys greet them... by waving :)

 

Oh my heart. It is so full!
