Extreme Strollering

Forging the waters. We ended up having to just take off our shoes and dive in,
 but Sam stayed nice and dry in his groovy ride. 

 Despite it being Winter, the weather in Texas has been unusually warm and balmy. We really enjoy getting out to hike and be outdoors with Sam, and of course Odelia, who thinks it's puppy day. We've been in the middle of a drought for the last 3 or so years, so we were surprised to find water in this creek. Quinn loves testing the limits of the stroller and seeing just how well the hydraulics work...yes it has hydraulics. After an especially challenging trail, we have decided that it is more than time to invest in a baby hiking pack as the stroller is just not as, "all terrain" as you might have thought. Sam loves being outdoors and surprisingly can fall asleep pretty much anywhere and on any rocky trail. I've included a few additional pictures from our trip home to Kansas that are especially cute. 

Notice Odelia emerging from the water. She loves swimming and playing fetch
in the water. It delights Sam and he is constantly laughing at his little doggie. 

A lunch break with a view. Had to stop for sustenance. 

Believe it or not, he is actually asleep here.  Yup, it's a lot
of hard work enjoying nature from a seated position.

The boys checking out Grandpa's new ride, AKA combine. Pretty fancy!

This little farm kitten took to Quinn and Sam and jumped up on Quinn's shoulder.
We would have loved to take her home, but we have enough
animal rodeos in the house with Reo the cat and Odelia.
