A walk to the creek





What a day to load up Clay and his gear in his Radio Flyer All-Terrain Wagon and take a long leisurely stroll! 

Days like this in early February are a treat anyway but especially so when watching Clay’s eyes widen with wonder at all the sights along the way.  Here he spots a bird in the sky...

We started out our walk with Hannah’s dog and two puppies following us, but about half a dozen more joined us.  That’s part of the fun of taking walks in the country.     

Clay enjoyed watching them…and seeing the cows by Grandpa’s fence...and stopping by Grandma’s for a minute…and stopping to let the school bus pass… to say “Hi” to Amy and the twins…then to Grandpa…

Clay’s the most observant little guy.  I guess everything is so new and amazing to him because he doesn’t get out much, but he’s just content to sit and look and soak up the world around him. 

He’s that way at home too--he gets so absorbed in playing with his toys and looking at his favorite books over and over again. 

He’s just one delightful little guy, that’s all there is to it! I’m so thankful to get to watch him learn and grow.
