More time in the woods

It must get a little boring to see so many pictures of the boys playing in the woods, but it really is a great way to spend an afternoon.  Feel free to skip through if you have had enough...

Today we brought some neighbourhood friends to a favorite part of the Bruce Trail that was spectacular that last time we were there (last year in the early spring on one of the first really warm days) and was decidedly less appealing today (midway through one of the hottest, driest summers on record).  What used to be a beautiful, alive waterfall flowing with clear, cool blue water was more of a light brown, mosquitoed trickle this time around.  You would think I would have given it a bit more forethought, wouldn't you?

Still, the kids had fun for a while before the bugs got to be too bad.  William and Charlie love showing off 'their' wild places, and Ben and Maddie are usually game to explore with us.
