The Country Visit

This past week Bobby boy visited his Godfather up at his place in the country in the middle of woods, about 1.5hrs east of where we live. We left in the morning and he slept through most of the way there. Then, once we reached, he was given the tour of the house. We had our morning snacks and talked for a bit, before we headed out to the porch. It was mid morning, and the porch opened up towards a sloping yard sprinkled with a few hedges and trees, before it met with the pond. It was really pretty view! The sun felt good and we hung out on the porch for a little bit. Then  I decided it was time for Bobby's banana and oatmeal breakfast/snack. The boy likes his banana and oatmeal, and soon it was all gone. 

After the snack, we decided to head out for a walk into the woods. We went up and down the country road first, and then went about walking into the woods - looking at trees and jumping over the creek and avoiding prickly vines. Bobby was intently watching, I was wearing him in a baby carrier. At some point, he decided the soft thump of my feet is rather soothing, and his eyes are getting heavier. 'There's much to see, but surely i can rest my eyes for just a small moment', that's what he must have thought, cause next time I checked him, he had dozed off.

We circled around the lake, and heard pitter-platter-plops of numerous frogs jumping in to the pond with the rustling of my feet walking. I peered into the water to see them, but didn't see a single frog. They were quite the clandestine critters. 

We came back home and fixed up lunch. Bobby relaxed with his dinosaur ball, fussed when it didn't fit all the way into his mouth, and chewed on fingers. 

Soon it was time to head back home. The boy had missed his nap and I hoped he would sleep on the way home. We waved Keith goodbye, and headed back late afternoon. Bobby did sleep almost all the way home. It was a good visit!
