A Walk in the Woods

Today we went to Mason District Park and took a walk/hike in the woods, then we got a little lost in the woods and then we walked a little (a lot) more and then we found a concert of Indian music and danced and then we cut through the woods where there is no path (stroller and all) and then we found our way back to the park where we climbed the rock wall and then we went home.  It was a lot of fun and Little Man (never knowing we were a little lost) hiked the whole time.  


Well he danced through part of it because we could hear the Indian music through the trees, it was the breadcrumbs that led us back to where we needed to be.

And then Little Man climbed the rock wall like it was no big thing.

And of course, Peanut slept through the entire thing and was just as oblivious of getting a little lost.

It wasn't our first Family Fun Activity as a family of four (we went to the zoo when Peanut was only 2 weeks old) but it was our first Family Fun Hike and it won't be our last.  But next time I won't give Papa Bear a hard time about studying the map of the hiking paths - who knew that it was the only one we would come across!!

And this picture has nothing to do with anything - but he is just so adorable I couldn't resist.

  1. sounds like such an amazing time! Um...where did the native american music come from? I mean, is that a normal occurrence in Arlington?

    And I love how dark little Peanut's hair is--beautiful.

  2. Climbing walls, doing wheel barrels with a strong straight back, and still plenty of energy to choke you with his hugs.

  3. Sorry for the confusion, it was Indian music as in from India, not Native American and it was a group playing at the park - there are always bands playing there for Arts in the Park. It is a normal occurrence to have music playing - but not necessarily Indian music. Little Man loved it!
