Iris on a field trip

Not only was the weather amazing, and much appreciated, but the day with the kids was a blast. 

We took two tours, one much better than the other.

Lots of amazing pictures of the kids, especially some great ones of Iris.

a beautiful afternoon walk

We just returned from a short walk down our lane and back. We discovered so many fun and interesting things. Enjoy!

water puddles and rocks.. oh course!

a small waterfall that we never noticed before

the walk back home

A 'daddy flower' pedal she wanted to save

she looks so grown up in this picture. 

she picked this for me and wanted to put it in water for me

we saw a bunch of hearts here and there

It was certainly a lovely walk with my little lovely.
