I'm so pleased with how adventurous he's becoming

Arram and I took a special walk recently to and through Henderson Park, just the two of us.

We walked across the dewy meadow, over the bridge, and through the glade of Lord of the Rings -style ancient trees that sighed and creaked in the light breeze.  We frolicked past the sports fields and then down the trail.  We saw some sculptures representing heaven and earth.



We took a quick turn through the flax garden, but decided to turn around and head back before we got too tired.  To make our walk back more fun, we played Pole Tag along our route.  (That's where you race each other to the light poles; if you can touch the pole before being tagged, you're safe.)

Then we passed a big inviting boulder and Arram decided that not only did he need to climb it, he did not need nor want Mama's help to do so.  He scaled it like a champ.  Then we went home and had a snack.

I love reading about your adventures and especially seeing the wonderful pictures! The Maori warrior and rock sculptures are awesome!

But I like the one that Arram is on the best: God's own restful and inviting creation.

Good for him! He is really growing up. It must be all that wonderful love and kisses that you and his grandparents give to him.
