Afternoon walk in Missouri

I just finished an afternoon walk with Monica and the kids, Adam and Jadalyn. It was very refreshing but also served to remind me that I'm not getting any younger! We walked along the neighborhood path through the woods and along a stream. We all were rock hunting trying to find something interesting. Monica is the "professional rock-hound" so I was always asking her "hey...whats this?" She would respond with some geologic term that often sounds like some sort of pornographic term..like cumminite(sp?). Adam had his "walking stick" which was a broken broom handle and Jadalyn brought one of Adam's books concerning Bakugauns which is some form of Japanese inspired entertainment. Monica had her backpack to haul back her treasure. I had to tell her a few times that if she wants to haul a big-ass rock like that back...fine, but I'm not moving it later!!!! We saw quite a few fish, some were quite interesting and puzzling, neither of us knew what they were.

It was a beautiful day and our excursion was quite enjoyable. Adam complained about his feet hurting but the poor boy just doesn't have enough experience in the outdoors. Hopefully we can change that. He had a good time which is kinda rare for him. I hope to have more enjoyable days like it.
