They Grow up so Quickly

Moorlands Again

Lyns is still on nights so James and I had a lazy day, not even getting out of our pjs until late morning.   We spent the morning playing with Lego and watching Despicable Me 3, which is so funny.   I had asked a James the day before what we had wanted to do and he had said he wanted to go to the woods.   I did think about going to Dalby to do the new Zog trail but we were just not up and ready in time.

We headed out wrapped up for the cold and equipped for really muddy paths, however, it was neither which was nice.   James loves this bit of woodland and he knows all the places to explore and where the shortcuts are.   

James was full of beans and from the word go he was off.  In the teaching area he had great fun running and jumping between the seats.   He was so adventurous, he was hauling himself up small trees. 

After causing chaos in the teaching area, we were off to explore.   James had lots of fun running in and out of all the areas just off the path as well as venturing into areas we had not been in before and I an not completely certain we should have been in. 

At one point James declared he wanted to climb a really tall tree and I thought yeah yeah, you’ll get scared once your feet have left the floor, alas no, he was off up the nearest one like greased lightening.   With my heart in my mouth I watched him climb, turns out he is actually a monkey as he deftly shot up the tree. 

After completing the loop we were back at the entrance.   I had one tired little boy on my hands.   We had climbed trees, fought pirates and raced our way around the area.   What a lovely couple of hours spent out and about.
