September has begun: nature trek with J

Hej (pronounced hey, which is Swedish for 'hi'),

The normal hello was getting overused, so I decided to switch it up!

So we have lofty goals to go camping at the start of Sept but the rain kept us away. As a Washingtonian, I probably shouldn't have let it intimidate me, but the rain here pours like nothing I've seen. Plus, Ryan thought a pregnant lady sleeping on the dirt may not be the best company in a tiny, enclosed tent :) 

We had a great Labor Day weekend though. We hiked, ate a lot of food, and enjoyed some good ole fashioned family time at home. Here are some highlights from our hike. 

The day started our bright, sunny and sticky. Just the way we like it in Maryland (ha!).... but a breeze came by later so that was a plus. 

We walked through forest trails and along side this lake. Next time we hope to rent a little row boat and hang out some more.


Along the trails were these old school 'exercise stations'. Jocelyn loved them. Here she is practicing her Kung Fu panda moves, balancing on one leg! I used to do this as a little girl. She was awesome. 


Then J got Daddy to help her hop from post to post. 



Ryan showing us how it's done. He's quite the fit man :)


These rings were really low to the ground, so only Jocelyn got to play. But she had fun. 




Celebrated the end of the day with Halloween Oreos, aka orange in the middle. They were delish. 



Hope you all had a good Labor Day! And we are excited for fall. Here come the scarves and everything pumpkin. Yum!
