Nature Center

On Wednesday a warm front came through. It was beautiful! We walked up to town in the morning (Will rode his bike) and played at the fountain. Then we did some running on the football field. Even Alex got in on the action and finger walked all the way across the field (the short way - not 100 yards).

After our walk, we packed a picnic and went to Blandford Nature Center. We spent some time in the visitor's center looking at the turtles, rabbits, and owls. Then we went for a nice hike through the woods. We did the 1/2 mile trail which had a few decent hills and some bridges over the river. Will thought it was pretty cool. He was in charge of looking for the signs and making sure we went the right way. Alex enjoyed being carried and loved watching all the leaves falling. After our hike, we found a picnic table for lunch and then did a couple short trails/paths before heading home.

After their naps, we went outside to play and rake some leaves. Will and I went out first since Alex slept for quite a while. At one point, Will turned to me and said, "It's sad out here without Alex. When is he going to wake up?" So sweet.

Here are a few pictures from our trip to the nature center. I also included a couple videos. Alex has learned how to wave. He also discovered the curtains in our living room.

Not the most flattering photo, but you can see his upper two teeth!
