Baby's First Hike

DSC_4970

Holy garbanzo beans, the weather today was absolutely gorgeous. We had to do something! So we went to an Audubon wildlife sanctuary in Natick to walk around and see some naturey stuff. The place has a really nice boardwalk which we enjoyed immensely.

The wood from which the boardwalk was constructed seemed to be ancient and by itself was quite beautiful.

There was no railing on some of the sides and it was a bit nerve wracking (racking?) watching Cole just walk right up to the edge. He behaved himself though.

The woods shared all sorts of beautiful secrets with us.

True found it fascinating.

We saw some wildlife, including a musk rat and some little turtles sunning themselves. It was a little rainy, so they were a little frustrated, as you can see.

Cole started off with a bang, running off ahead of us and getting his little hands all over everything. It was great!

He played more hide and seek with us, and this time chose some better hiding places than the other day.

But then he got tired and annoyed.

Eventually we made our way back to the car and drove home so Cole could enjoy the Graham Crackers he was promised.
