Today, the kids were out of school. So... we went on a hike! That, and drank Root Beer Floats. In fact, the hike was a necessity after the floats. The sugar high lasted for hours.
The big kids did some off-roading, leaving poor John on his perch in the back-pack. As I watched them, I thought about the push / pull of wanting / not wanting them to run off, as they did up a big hill.
It's not fair really. I generally want them to detach from me and explore, until they do. Then I want them back, safe, within my reach. But, I'm thankful. These explorations are just the beginning.
That's them, waving from the top of the hill.
Staggering, beautiful photos. I hope they are going into albums. Love the colors.
