Meadowlark morning

It's really cold here today but with two active little boys there's no option but to get out of the house for a bit of a walk and run off some energy. This morning we went to our favourite place - Meadowlark Gardens.
Cameron and Jamie both wanted to try taking photos - normally that's my job - but not today. Here is Cameron's photo...
and here is Jamie's photo...needs some work!
We were so lucky today because the heron was at the pond looking for brunch. We got really close to it. I suppose it doesn't feel threatened at all in Meadowlark Gardens. The boys loved watching it walk with its long legs and pointy beak. Do you see it behind them?
And finally, a quick play in the pig garden before leaving.
And since they look like they are on a horse it reminds me of a game they have been playing the last couple of days. They are pretending to be cowboys. Jamie decided his horse is called Hoany Pony and Cameron's horse is called Super. They are both very fast and gallop around the living room before collapsing on the floor. Pretend play is so much fun!

That's so sweet about the cowboy game! I love it. Little Man was pretending his lovey was a baby today. It needed to be wrapped in a blanket, and also needed a bandaid on his "elbow". His lovey is a turtle, so it was some elbow!

Love the heron. We get a funny sea heron kind of bird here that the boys would love.
