Our Mornings at the River

I take Tyler to the river usually once a week after I drop Caden off at school. It is so quiet there in the mornings and the playgrounds are deserted, so we have them all to ourselves. Tyler loves to take his sweet time crossing the bridge, stopping every minute or two to watch a duck swimming by or inspect a spider web or squat down to get a better look at some little fish jumping out of the water. He loves to throw sticks in the water and watch them float away. He also loves the freedom and wide open play space at the river. He LOVES to swing and just loves being at the river in general. Not that I can blame him. There is something so healing and soothing about water. It is such a great way to start our day. Here are some pictures of one of our recent visits :)
