into the forest we go!

Today we went to Redwood Park for a stroll through the forest. It was sooooo cold, but a beautiful morning!

The kids were so excited to be there, we were barely out of the car and they were out and running!

 We found the tree house!

And then we found the fairy houses.
 

It feels like every time we go there are many many more houses in the forest. The kids loved it!

Ada wanted her picture taken by this pretty house!

 And Ruben loved that this one was a mug!

 They could spend hours running back and forth between the houses.

 And I loved this little vignette.

please be quiet.

 Then we went to the playground!

 Which, I mean, we could have stayed here all day too.

 And then this is when Auntie joined in the fun. But do you know how hard it is to take pictures when you're bouncing up and down?

We were all laughing so hard!

Ruben kicked me off my swing. Which is probably just as well. I'm pretty tired tonight after all that playing.

 He looks so nervous here, but he kept asking to be pushed higher.

We almost made it outta there. But then the kids went running to play by the diggers one last time and Ruben tripped and well...

 Poor little guy.

 We had another nerf battle outside. And then we watched some Rupert Bear.
