Last weekend our family went on two special outings--here are some of my favorite moments:
1. We took advantage and visited one of our favorite places for the day--the north shore. Avy throughly enjoyed looking for pretty rocks. She also loved watching us throw rocks in the water and getting to throw in handfuls herself. Her laughter, clapping, and cheering at rocks hitting the water was a good reminder that often times it's the simplest of things that can bring the most joy.
2. The next day was just as beautiful and we decided to take Avy ice fishing. I'll admit it--when we were first setting up and getting ready I was wondering if it was worth the effort. I was terrified of Avy walking around the ice and possibly getting a leg stuck in the ice hole. She also seemed a little unsure of what to do with herself--her gloves kept getting soaked because of playing in the snow and eating ice (yes--she crunched on ice, not snow, the ENTIRE time). Well--it was totally worth it when I watched her "help" Steven catch a fish. She did her whole cheering and laughing thing while demanding that Steven throw the fish on the ice to clean later. The next few days after that she kept saying to me "Go! Daddy! Fish!" So. Fun.
