Possibly the best kind…I texted her early, inquiring if she was up for a quick berry picking stop and then a walk at the park nearby.  The perk of having a baby that’s up before 7 am is I’m on my second cup of coffee and am scheming up something fun before some of my friends are awake!  We had such a delightful day, us and our collective 11 children.  No one wanted to go home…

The Tolt River suspension bridge – as impressive as I remember it from my childhood!

our combined crew

girl time – these two talked non stop on those rocks for over two hours!

boy time – “please don’t throw mud at me again”  or  “that’s my rock”

he was intent on building a dam like the big brothers

this little girl loved raspberries…and dirt too

she also loved her hours long nap in the bushes where we tucked her in a shady spot by the river while the other kids played

not much unsettles Finn, but the sway of the bridge did and big brother Caleb was very quick to take his hand and walk him across
