If you know me, you know that I absolutely love going to parks, hiking on trails, or going to the lake. Thats just my idea of how to really enjoy a beautiful day! Before I became pregnant, majority of the nice days when I had a day off, It would just be me and the dogs (occasionally I could find someone who wanted to tag along) finding new adventures. Now Carson's here, and nothing has changed!! :) It just kind of my thing! And Carson loves it just as much as me and the dogs!
Anyway, the other day while meeting up with a few ladies to sell some baby clothes and other things...we had 3 hours to kill until the next meet, and needed to stay close by as well. I decided to go to one of our very favorite parks Dawson Creek, which by the way, is the very first park I took Carson too at about two weeks old:)
2 weeks old @ Dawson Creek
5 1/2 MONTHS old @ Dawson Creek!!
So on this most recent trip, the reason I chose to share, is because for some reason, it turned into one of those memories I will cherish forever! We started our walk by looking at all the ducks and geese being fed by a family...which thinking about it, I dont think Carson has ever seen a duck or bird for that matter that close up before! The dad even shared a piece of bread with us! How nice:)
Carson loved the ducks! Wouldnt take his eyes off them!
We continued our walk along the water, stopping to watch birds fly or people walk by.
We ended up finding a secluded bench spot that was right next to the water, far from the walking path, where I decided to set up "camp" hehe. I brought along some baby food for a little picnic just for my little man too! He really liked eating his lunch outside in the fresh air!!
Lunchtime!!
The sun and sky was so beautiful and refreshing, and surprisingly even that cold!! Is it even winter anymore?? haha I am so ready for the sun to stick around! After lunch we did some sensory play in the grass and next to trees, letting Carson touch everything he wanted. Birds and ducks flew into the water, the dogs were able to hang out with us off leash, everything was just perfect!! Dixie even jumped in for a swim! (i told her bad girl and made her go lay in the sun to dry off, which im sure she didnt even mind lol) Carson and the dogs were in the very best of moods!!!
As Carson became more and more worn down from all the activity...we just sat on the bench together and cuddled and watched the world around us :) Who knows how long we sat there...maybe an hour?? It was just the most peaceful blissful moment I think ive had as a parent so far, honestly<3 No worries, no time limit, just my son and I, enjoying each other and the beautiful day!!! I am one lucky momma!!!!
Once we were ready, even the walk back to the Jeep was fun! :)
