Today was a day like no other in Arkansas history. It was sunny and 74 degrees and so, I will admit it, we decided to skip church and enjoy God's creation! We spent the day at Devil's Den hiking, snacking and showing Cole a lot of neat new things. When I was pregnant with Cole a friend from work gave us this hiking backpack. We had not used it before and decided today was the day. Wow - Cole LOVED it! He kept laughing and pointing at Rhonald saying "Hi Daddy!" Rhonald got quite a work out carrying that big boy around all morning so he was glad when we decided to break for lunch. Cole had...or sort of had...his first peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He took a few bites and gave it back to me saying "all done mama." I am not sure what he thought but I am sure he will love them one day. After lunch we walked along another trail where Cole found more bugs, rocks and leaves than any little boy could imagine! He also got to see his first acorn and a huge Caterpillar. We love watching him learn about new things and really take them in. It is truly amazing!!! Rhonald and I had the hardest time getting him to leave today. He simply wanted to sit in the middle of the trail and play in the dirt. He piled up the rocks and then organized some leaves. It was so sweet to watch him enjoy his day so much. When other people would walk by him he would not even move but he did say "Hi" to every person that passed. He was so work out that he took a very long nap once we got home. When he woke up he ran out to the backyard for more fun in the sun...and dirt!
