A Word A Week Challenge: Behind

Behind

One of our favorite things to do in the summer is fill a backpack with supplies and take a walk into town to get ice cream or watch a movie.  The hike is a little over two miles each way and Ryan and I always find a few new things to look at, great photo opportunities and time for conversation away from the distractions of home.  He insists he doesn’t feel right walking without a properly filled backpack so we usually have snacks, water, a few cameras, his sling shot, bouncy balls and couple of hot wheels along for the ride.  Ryan is prepared for anything that comes our way and I am right behind him.

    Everythihg about this entry is so beautiful….the image, the theme, what he carries, and most of all you as a parent allowing a child to lead the way. Seriously, this is a very special post.

    A bot after my own heart – I’m not crazy about a backpack on MY back, but I love that he enjoys taking that walk, the discoveries on the way, and that he must have his stuff with him – me too! Cute hat!
