The weekend - a hike with the boys


We had a fun weekend. Saturday I spent most of the day deep cleaning the Beresford house so that it would be ready to move in next week. The best part, however, was taking Wesley and Thomas hiking today.

They had a blast! It is so much fun seeing them learn about the world. Things that I easily take for granted seem to absolutely astonish them. They really enjoy the outdoors. Wesley told me on the way up (we went to a redwood park in Woodside, CA) that he really loved how peaceful and quiet it was out there. "Dad, can we move here or go camping?" he said.

I would love to! They had a great time stomping in puddles and throwing rocks in the streams along the trail. To my amazement they devoured a bunch of craisins (cranberry raisins). Thomas wanted to and insisted on holding my hand most of the way - a very memorable moment that I am sure I will miss when he is a teen and wants nothing to do with my hand except to feed him some cash.
