As usual I had to spend time trying to find unique picture oppurtunities while everyone else was bored. They were patient and tried to understand my need to see things through a different perspective. I was able to get a few shots that I really liked before Peyton decided she had enough of looking at leaves.
We walked from one end of the park to the other. Peyton has grown up so much. She no longer wants to be carried but wants to walk like the rest of us. This is exciting in some ways but on the 10 minute nature hike it took us an extra 30 minutes. Big brother loves the fact that she imitates him and likes to encourage her to do the same things he is doing. (no matter if they are right or wrong)
We explored an old house built in the late 1800's. Peyton made her self at home on the front porch. She loves rocking chairs. We monopolized the front porch and sat there enjoying the cool breeze and the view of the St. John's River.
Connor finds the whole world to be a playground. These are the things we have to look forward to him teaching his little sister .
It was a great day. I think we all needed a day to get away and relax from the fast paced world we get wrapped up in. We hope to have these getaways on a monthly basis. Oh yeah, Blue Springs is known for the manatees that migrate there in the winter, we saw a few but the highlight of our day was the time we spent together.
