A day at Bernheim Forest

Finally we had some cooler weather this weekend and decided to NOT work on the house in lieu of spending the day doing something fun. I think this was our first fun outing as a family of four and I'm so glad we went! Bernheim Forest always provides plenty to do...hiking through the woods, walking on paved paths (able to use the stroller) around lakes and beautiful gardens, and just being outside.
Andrew and Harper did well for their first time in the double stroller.  We walked around the lake and it was so beautiful out. Drew held Harper's  hand and made sure her sun shade was down whenever it became "real sunny," a phrase he kept repeating as he put the shade up and down numerous times!
This cool structure was actually a maze. You can imagine how much fun Andrew had running through this (and Nate following him as fast as he could). This was a big hit with all the kids who were visiting the park this particular day and it was hilarious to watch them all running through and popping out different entrances and exits while the parents tried to find them in the craze!
 He's a fast one! After running around for a good half hour we hoped he'd be worn out:)
I managed to get him to pause for about 2 seconds to take a quick picture.
Harper hung out in the baby carrier with me...you can't really tell but she is down to her diaper in this picture. Of all the things I packed in our overloaded car for a day out and about, I forgot a change of clothes for her and for the first time in her short life, we had a diaper incident (to put it mildly) that required me to strip her down entirely. She didn't seem to mind being naked too much and fell asleep on our hike!
