A walk in the woods



We took fiona on a long walk with friends Chris and Kate, at a local park this weekend. She did very well but preferred to walk on her own than be carried. She rode in the back pack with Devon for a good portion, and then we made the mistake of letting her out. Getting her back in was challenging and as you can see she protested. She loved the forest though, It was cool after our first rain of the season, lots of rocks and sticks and acorns to collect along the way.

PS fiona has learned finally over the last couple of weeks to say MAMA(actually pronounces it "mumum") and uses it well. This will get her far in life.

Nice photos - they tell the story well! :-) There's some lines in Pride and Prejudice where the young women are 'tsk tsking' Elizabeth's defiance at insisting on walking from one property to another, and I was reminded of this scene with these lovely photos. Strength of character is what our young Fiona has :-) xx

I imagine that we are looking forward to a lot of this independence stuff.
