The past two years, we've set a goal to spend 1,000 hours outside. With being pregnant in 2022 and having a new baby in 2023, we've only made it to 850-900 hours each year. These have still been wins in my book because that's way more time outside than we might have spent otherwise! But this year, I'm determined to make it all the way to 1,000. Nothing lifts our moods, aids our exercise, burns off excess energy, drives away the grumpies, or brings us together like time outside. Already we've had some wonderful adventures this year....
How do we do it with Walter? We dress him for the weather and bring him along. He LOVES the outdoors and is always calm and relaxed in nature (as long as he's not cold).
Forest School is always a favorite way to get outside.
One Sunday before church we visited a park in Provo that the girls used to love when they were little and we lived there. As we walked up, the ducks mobbed us looking for food.
Michael and Orson got to enjoy some time shooting. He says Orson's getting really good! This is the first time he's shot standing up.
Walter LOVES to eat snow.
Another Sunday we built the cutest snowman!
We found Hazel's street!
And enjoyed the BEST way to spend time outside in the winter!
One afternoon while the big girls were at book club I took the younger kids to the pond and we spotted a baby turtle! Can you see him in the water? Plus Mom and Dad on the roots?
