Our Trek Through Ledges

This past Sunday afternoon we took a little family trip to Ledges, a state park not far from home. 

Half way down the big, winding hill. 

Claire loves the big sister role.

I love this picture of Jason and Zoe. It is so symbolic of our first six months having the kids home. The kids are learning to trust that they can depend on us to meet their needs and navigate this thing called life.

And clearly, they are making progress!

 The boys had a blast throwing rocks in the water . . . 

 And running . . .

 And climbing!

I'm pretty sure Claire could live in the water after seeing her at Ledges. Although at home she is my child that would prefer to sit on the couch and read books or listen to music all day . . . get her outside and she is the EXPLORER of the family. It is so surprising to me . . . but I love it!

Claire put Abram on her back by herself and started carrying him through the water. For a moment I thought I was in Africa watching this take place! 

 

  Needless to say, the kids LOVED going to Ledges. I'm pretty sure we will be going back many more times.
