I don't think I've ever talked about the trail across the street from our home. Well, to be honest, we didn't use it very much last summer when we moved to our new place because our youngest was still in the stroller and being a mulched trail, strollers don't ride well on it.
But every since warm spring came and especially now that summer is officially knocking on our door, we walk on it almost every night. It's our little trail away from everything, called Cherry Hill Trail. The boys love taking a moment in the trees and I love just smelling the grass and blossoming wildflowers. My youngest rides in the hiking backpack on my husband's back and my oldest walks breezily by us. All we have to do is cross the street from our home and enter this small forest path.
Here are a few shots of the trail.
Remember when I mentioned the big present my husband bought my oldest son at a garage sale a week or so ago, well here it is. It is a really big chalkboard for him to color and play with. It is about 4 feet high and 8 feet long. We attached it to the wall of my son's room. He loves to color with chalk and write his alphabet letters on it. It is perfect for those rainy days or when it is just super hot outside and you're either at the pool or inside because it is so hot. He loves it. It was $5 at a local garage sale.
