Climbing trees and muddy knees.
18:12Phew! I am so glad it's half term. It's a very welcomed break in our house by the kids and myself! It's nice to have a break from the school routine, don't you think? It was also nice that today was a sunny day. It was quite chilly but such a pretty day, we couldn't resist a walk in the woodland 'round by where we live.
We packed a backpack with bottles of water, Harry's football boots (because he wanted to play football) and what not and off we went to the park!
We were also looking out for signs of spring a long the way as it's one of our tasks on our February bucket list.
We did spot quite a few of those. We spotted some blossom and the odd daffodil here and there, too!
We arrived at the park and it was pretty empty considering it was such a lovely day! We however, decided a walk in the woods and finding some trees to climb would be more fun than the wet slide!
We had a fantastic afternoon!

It sounds like the perfect family adventure. It's so important to get them outside in the fresh air isn't it.
ReplyDeleteTree climbing was one of my favourite things to do when I was a kid - anything adventurous I loved.
ReplyDeleteThat looks such fun! Makes me want to get out there in the mud! Hope you're enjoying the rest of half term :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day, here's hoping school holidays always stay dry and nice enough to go out in! x
ReplyDeleteDirty and fun day indeed. Love the lips of your daughter btw ;)
DeleteWhat a fun day with the family, I need to add more days like this to my monthly goals!!! The kids would love it
ReplyDeleteI love going on family walks together, and the now the weather is starting to pick up, will be going quite often
ReplyDeleteWhat a great family day out. I used to love climbing trees when I was younger and in some ways I still wish I was a child again so I could climb through the trees like a monkey.
ReplyDeleteI am very lucky that we live just a 5 min walk from the woods and we love nothing more than getting the wellies on and taking the dog for a walk great messy muddy fun
ReplyDeleteIt looks like such a nice fun day out. Climbing trees was a huge part of my childhood too and I would love it if Luke ended up being as enthusiastic about it as your children! Ray x #mmwbh
ReplyDeleteI used to love climbing trees when I was younger, looks like you guys had a lovely time x

ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely day out. You can't beat climbing trees
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of Ellie crossing the bridge. So sweet. & That tree is HUGE! WOW! Is it accessible or big enough to be a tree house - just like the one in Hobbit? Glad you had a great day out and kick the ball about! :) #whatevertheweather
ReplyDeleteLove the title of this post. Looks like you had fun! xo
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great day out xx
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photographs from what looks like a lovely day out, I spy a daffodil there too, my absolute favourite flower :) x
ReplyDeleteYour photos look lovely and it sounds like you've had lots of fun. I love the great outdoors.
ReplyDeleteArghh this is like my dream of when Lily and her future siblings are older. Carefree days out in the countryside or woods, such lovely photos! X
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day out! Family memories can never be replaced, and this looks like you all had an amazing time x
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone had fun :) Hope the weather holds up for half term so you can do more things like this!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun place to go, lots to do for all the family. I know a monkey that would love it here
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place for a walk - love all those signs of spring and your children look like they were having a lot of fun climbing trees. Love Ellie getting excited over being able to walk across the bridge with no hands having not been able to do that last year #CountryKids :-)
ReplyDeleteWe were so ready for half term too around here! We got lucky with a few bright, sunny days, weren't we? Looks like you had a brilliant walk. Gorgeous photos #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteLooks like a glorious day for your half-term #COuntryKids
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely looking day and I hope the sun did indeed hold for you, we had a real mix in Cornwall. I do love to see a little spring at this time of year and watch the kids enjoying just being kids in the fresh air. Lovely to come back to somewhere a year on and find things that were too hard are now achievable, well done Ellie.Thank you for sharing a lovely day on #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteThose look like some ideal and irresistible trees to climb and a great time out for all the kids.
ReplyDeleteHow awesome to pass on your love of the woods and trees to your own children! I'm trying to do the same with ours. Looks like they had a lovely time. #WhatevertheWeather
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great time and I still cannot believe how tall H is x
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful that you all spend time like this together. Nothing beats being outdoors, climbing trees and exploring together. It's such a lovely family bonding thing to do. It must be nice to have them around for half term so you can all do things together. Thank you for sharing with #whatevertheweather xx
ReplyDeleteAw such a beautiful set of photos and it looks like a lovely day out- you can't beat some good old fresh air. I agree that I love half term, I know a lot of people find it stressful but I find it so much better than having to rush around doing the school run every day- I hate it! x
ReplyDeleteI love any walks that have activities for the kids to do on the way round to stop them getting bored. Lovely photos #magicmoments
ReplyDeletewhat lovely pictures you look like you had a fab day
ReplyDeleteI used to love climbing trees too. So peaceful at the top of a nice big one, just listening to the rustle of the leaves. Not sure I'd find any big enough to support me now though.

Walking used to be my idea of hell, but I absolutely LOVE it now and there are some stunning spots near where we live. The girls really enjoy it too, which we're making the most of while they're still young enough to want to hang out with Mum and Dad! ;) xx
ReplyDeleteNice to be able to get outside and burn off some energy. We've been taking advantage of the nicer weather also. Its such a mood improver for everybody
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had a lovely day! Those are some great pictures. #FartGlitter xx
ReplyDeleteWhat great woods to explore and that huge oak tree is amazing. It's so lovely when you can go somewhere you enjoyed as a kid and see your own children doing the same. Magical moments all round! #countrykids
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see the kids exploring the same woods you did as a child and love that you had a good conversation about trees, my hubby is an arborist and is always talking trees to the boys. Interesting to see that they can tell they are growing up too and noticing things that they can do now that they couldn't a year ago. And of course meeting up with friends is always nice, especially if the mums can chat too!
