Labor Day walk

This past weekend we decided to hit the Farmington River trail. We enjoyed the beautiful weather. Ethan was in heaven running up and down the trail. When we got to the trail part, Ethan got excited and said we were in the rain forest! He then told us "Swiper get Lille, Swiper get Momma..." as he ran around us in circles. He is obsessed with Dora and Diego which is why he thought we were in the rain forest and that Swiper the sneaky fox was out to get us. We walked way farther than we should have with two little kids. It was just so nice out we kept walking and didn't realize that we would have to turn around and walk the same distance back.  Luckily Lillie napped and Ethan has way to much energy to slow him down for long.

 Our happy girl

 Lillie wanted a chance to walk too!

 Ethan loves to push the stroller, but he's not allowed to if Lillie is actually in it.  He managed to roll it down the side of the trail at one point.

 Lillie has to do what Ethan does.

This is what Ethan looked like for most of the walk.  He is non-stop all the time!

Lillie got tired and took a nap on Daddy.

Ethan and I rested for a bit next to the trail overlooking the river.  If I had let him, he would have jumped right in!

Small break in the stroller before jumping out to find spiders.

Lillie woke up just before we reached the car.  Ethan was trying to get Ryan to race him across the bridge.  We hope to get to the trail more often now that the weather is cooler.  Once Lillie is big enough, we can't wait to get out our bikes and bike trailer to use on the trail.
