Little Explorer

Wendy and I had an incredible afternoon today with our little boy. After his afternoon nap (which lasted about 2 hours today), we put on his coat and took him over to The Preserve, a very nice subdivision just behind our house. There they have a small park with a playground, pavilion, and a large open grassy area.

When we parked the car, our Little Guy was desperate to get out and start exploring. He loves being outside, which is why I was so grateful that the temperature today was a bit warmer. It afforded us more time to be outside with him. He walked through the natural areas, kicking up leaves and picking up pine cones, then made his way into the grassy field where he ran around and looked up at airplanes passing overhead.

Since The Preserve was built Wendy and I have spent several evenings just walking together, musing about the days when we would bring our child over to that neighborhood to play. And to see that dream become a reality today was a very proud moment for me as a father.
