rough and tumble

The crazier, the better.

Until bedtime.

 

Phoenix Lake

Could we get back into hiking? For the first time since #2, I'm beginning to think it is possible!  We hiked pretty regularly pre-kids, and it's something I've always loved.  We tried Phoenix Lake, an old reliable, out again (first time hiked here).  The green is so green! The air is so fresh!  It's good for us city folk to take a break once in a while and smell the forest.

 

Golden Gate Sunset

This year is off to a sickly start and sometimes it seems like the kids are more often sick than healthy.  I'm so grateful for the magical moments we have had as a family already this year, and hope for many more.   It takes a special kind of wisdom to know when to relax into a low-key, house-bound weekend and when to insist that we seek out an adventure.
