We (wisely) fell in the love with the trail by our house. Especially Little John. And Tommy. And Little John a couple more times.
When we go to the garage he climbs into the stroller and tries to buckle himself in because he wants to go for a walk. On the trail. Then he whimpers and cries the most sad and pathetic cry when I tell him we're getting in the car instead. Poor boy. All his dreams are shattered.
Today as we walked (on the trail, in the stroller - as things should be) we passed the horses and got so lucky we heard the rooster crow.
Again and again and again.
Tommy would "cock-a-doodle-doo" and so would the rooster. Again and again. Meanwhile Little John laughed and laughed.
As we played "I Spy" on the way home Tommy found this gem.
After a few wrong guesses of "something that is white" he caved in and told me "it's a willy big huge-o-mondo white circle fing!" And THEN I guessed it.
When we got closer both boys went a little nuts and Tommy adequately expressed their excitement for both of them. "Look at all these million rocks just for meee!!!"
So we did.
It might have been the best trail-day yet.
Have I mentioned yet that I love living this close to the trail? Because I do. I really really do.

And we listened to our voices echo.
And we stretched up high to see how tall we were.

And yes, my dear sister-friend. You should just go ahead and try.
