Hiking in Pickering

Shawn, Kellen and I joined our neighbours, Miles, Zhu Hong and Vivian, for a day of hiking in Pickering....The weather was great and it was the perfect way to end the long weekend! Kellen had loads of fun running around and taking in nature (just like his dad!)...first stop, a big tree branch that fell!

Smile for the camera!! Shawn and Kellen hanging out on the bridge checking out the fish!

Walking over the bridge to begin our hike....

Baby Vivian!!! Honestly, isn't she just too cute?!?!?

Checking out the river with daddy...except a dog running by caught Kellen's attention.

On route to see if baby Vivian is okay....and to see if he is fast enough to jump into the water while no one is watching! (don't worry, we got him!)

Ahhh...more dirt to play with!

While he was running around in a field, he noticed some dogs going for a walk and kept pointing at the dogs...he really wanted to play with the dogs until they actually came over and one licked his hand...he then froze!


"No, Daddy, No!!!"

Kellen became obsessed with a big log that was on the path that we were hiking on...he kept to climb the log - he looks so small!!

"I think I can, think I can...."


...."Okay...last try..."

He looks so small running around in the huge fields....he loved running around and feeling the long grass - and grabbing at all the flowers, bugs, etc...

Kellen could spend most of his day playing in dirt and sand....he loves to pick up sticks and play in the dirt...here he is enjoying the day while making a cool design in the sand.

I absolutely love this picture of Kellen and Shawn...they were playing in a field and stopped to sit on a big log....my two nature-loving boys.
