Exploring

I’m sure I’ve mentioned about a hundred times how much we love being outside.  The warmer weather and sunshine has lifted my mood tremendously and we have been spending so much time going for walks and playing on the playground.  I am such a happier Whitney when I can enjoy the sun.  I wish my mood wasn’t so dependent on the weather, but it really is.  I am absolutely obsessed with sunshine.  The first thing M and I do when we wake up every day is go around the house and open all the blinds, filling our house with sunlight.  I adore the long, lazy summer days.  I adore swimming and wearing flip flops and picnics.  And to be honest, I find being cooped up inside all winter rather miserable.  And M is such a happier baby when he can get out of the house and play too.  He is never happier than when we’re outside.  I suspect he likes sunshine just as much or more than I do.  We have been happy as clams the past few days, frolicking all about in the glorious, glorious sunshine.   

Lately we’ve been wanting to try new places to go for our daily walk.  We’ve tried a couple new locations recently, and hope to try a new park every week this spring.  We’ve already been making our list.  I’m so excited! 

Yesterday, we went for a walk along the greenbelt in an area of town that we previously never even knew existed.  It was so lovely!  Everything was green and beautiful and there were lots of squirrels and birds to point out to M.  My favorite part of our expedition was when I spotted five baby foxes (though I was only able to photograph four)!  They were ADORABLE.  Don’t worry, we weren’t anywhere near them.  They were on the other side of the river, so we admired from a distance. 

Hooray for spring!  I can’t wait to share more adventures as we cross them off our bucket list.
