Spring is here!

Once again here I am apologizing for the lack of blogging. I have a pretty good excuse this time! We lost power for three days and then on top of that the boys have both been unwell and off school! Happy to report everyone is well again (and back at school).

After being cooped up in the house for too long it felt amazing to get back outside and feel the warmth of the sun on our faces.

The boys and I joined our Kids Unplugged friends on two fantastic hikes this week. Firstly on Wednesday we hiked Eagle Hill Trail in Rockefeller Preserve. Only having to clamber over a few downed trees along the way.

We got to hear the sound (it was LOUD) of the wood frogs. At first I thought it was the sound of yet another chain saw - we heard that a lot this week, but on turning the corner we closed in on the pond and there before our eyes were so many frogs helping to increase the wood frog population of Westchester! It was quite a scene.

My favorite shot of the day!

On Saturday morning the boys and I headed East to Rye and met the Kids Unplugged group at Edith Read Sanctuary. It was well worth the drive on I287/I95 to get there! We hiked and squelched through the mud a little, explored the shore line, caught some rays and thoroughly that a brilliant time. The boys loved the beach and were delighted to find all sorts to boy treasure, namely rocks, shells and horseshoe crab shells.







Thank you Gina, as always it was great to discover a new place to have good old fashioned fun outdoors.
