Nature Preserve

One Saturday night (4.25.09) we visited the Mill Creek Nature Preserve and walked along a trail that follows a river with the kids in hopes of wearing them out before bedtime. Playing on a jungle gym and walking on the mile long trail did wear them out, but this happened earlier than we had anticipated. Jeff and I finished the outing carrying two very tired bugs back up the trail to our car - which left us more exhausted than than the kids. Isn't that how parenting always seems to work?

This is Ethan's new favorite shirt. He had another shirt with writing on it which read, "My Dad is the Man." Since this shirt has writing as well, Ethan concluded that this shirt also read the same thing. He was so proud of it it hurt me to break it to him what the shirt really read. He got over it quickly and now proudly announces, "Dees letters say, 'I Dig Dirt!"726
