We have been trying real hard as a family to get outdoors more. We want the boys to be in shape and have fun, but we also want them to see us out having fun and getting in shape. While my oldest will not pose for the camera (he’s real quick to jump out of the photo the minute my hand goes up!) I assure you he is with us on each trip.
Our 4 year old is always running to keep up with everyone, but I tell you he keeps me going. I have to jog almost the entire time to keep up with his little legs. The other day when we were jogging he says to me…”Mommy, how many miles we go?” I say, “Half a mile” and he says, “Ok, keep going and whatever you do Don’t Stop.” Then he yells STOP!
Silly boy!
We just love going down and playing in the water! Our boys think it’s the greatest thing to catch tadpoles, toads and fish with their hands!
We are fortunate to have a lake nearby. The other day I took the boys to the lake for a picnic. I snapped this photo while they were all sitting on the rocks. (Don’t tell my 13 year old I got a photo of him!)
More to come on Raising My 5 Sons…
