Green Mountain--7/13/17

My mom keeps Amanda's girls on Thursdays, and now that I'm also off, we like to get the kids together to do something fun. A couple weeks ago, we took them all up to the natural trail on Green Mountain. My mom took us up here ALL the time when we were growing up, and I always love going back. It's hardly changed since I was a kid, and there's something very nostalgic about that. We went in the afternoon with several bags of old bread, and the girls had the best time feeding the geese, turtles, and fish.

When we walked up and saw all of the geese, the girls started yelling "GUCKS! GUCKS!" 😂 The geese came out of the water and right up to us, and Evelyn even fed one of them out of her hand.

It was hot, but this boy was such a trooper! He just goes with the flow, and enjoys the ride :)

We went to the bride to see the turtles. There were TONS of them, and the girls seriously could have stayed all day feeding them. More and more kept appearing as we dropped bread, and then some huge catfish came up too, which totally grossed me out. 😝 Caroline was afraid to walk on the boards because you could see the water below through the cracks. She kept saying "Help me!" and my mom would have to carry her. She seriously cracks me up!

I asked Evelyn to smile and got this...

...then I asked Caroline. Crazy kid!

Mimi was finding tiny frogs for the girls, and they couldn't get enough. They kept asking for more to hold, until Caroline squished one and my mom quit giving them to her. hahaha

Evelyn found the tiniest worm ever and was so proud! She wanted a picture with it.

Still just hanging out. This is one of my favorite pictures, because it captures how SWEET this boy is! Look at that little smile! He is so handsome, I cannot even stand it!

All three kiddos on the swing. Unfortunately getting 2 out of 3 to look at the camera was the best I could do.

Having fun with my boy!

Pretty sure this was Henry's favorite part of the whole day. He was not happy when I had to make him leave. 😂

We had such a good time, and I always enjoy the days I get to spend with my mama and nieces!
