Despite the winter weather, we have been out walking and hiking nearly every day. Sebastian has been a real trouper, going out and walking for pretty long distances without a fuss. We especially like playing hide and seek - one person runs ahead and hides behind a tree trunk or in a clump of bushes, and the others have to find them. Both Seb and Liesl love the game, although I admit it gives me a bit of anxiety when they disappear from my sight around a curve in an unfamiliar forest. We also count all of the steps up and down whenever the trails have stairs, and compete to see who counts the most. One of our loops is the 101-stair loop, which is short and steep. I love seeing Seb and Liesl run and play in these forests - Seb crows over the moss-covered trees and loves all of the creeks and streams and bridges, and has stopped (unprompted) to admire some enormous redwood trees.
These pictures are all on the trails in our neighborhood, Forest Heights. We christened this particular one the Bompy loop, since we first explored it with Grandpa Avery.
These next pictures are in Forest Park, on the Lower Macleay Park trail.
And finally, at our local duck pond and playground:
