One of my favorite things about spending our summer in Louisville was the unending natural beauty. Everywhere we went, looked...stunning. Here's a little trail along a creek just outside of Boulder. It has been Casey and my Dad's favorite walking spot this spring, and the kids and I took an awesome walk there one morning.
Mils handled the dog.
Si ran and jumped and explored.
And on the way back the kids hopped in the creek and played -- waded through it, climbed these boulders along side it, gained confidence trying new tricks on their own.
As I watched them play and explore I thought about this land as the most natural of playgrounds. We love a good plastic side and climbing structure, but somehow, this just felt so right. Just as it should be. I was re-energized to try to find this type of play back at home.
