Brian and I had a blast last Monday taking Miles on his first "hike" in the forest preserve near our house. (For those of you who don't live in an urban environment, a "forest preserve" is the only place around where one can find trees and plants that haven't been strategically landscaped by humans.) Before we started down the trail, our first stop was The Trailside Museum, where we saw a red fox, a coyote, a barn owl, and a crow that said "hello! hello!" (yes, crows can mimick human speech - who knew?!).
Miles enjoyed the kiddie corner where they had fun puzzles and stuffed animals. This is his first time sitting at a desk. Pretty big stuff!

Miles loved riding on Daddy's shoulders!
(Not pictured here: Me pushing the empty stroller along the trail . . . We're what you might call "rookie parents."
Miles loves anything that dangles (i.e. pull-cords on ceiling fans), so tree leafs proved to be the coolest thing on the trail for him.
In this photo Brian pretends that Miles will focus on whatever it is he is pointing at in the distance.
Silly Daddy!
Silly Daddy!
Remember how we always liked to call Miles' hands meat hooks? Were we wrong?! Just look at the size of those things!
Not so fast Dad!
"Give me that camera."
Mom's turn!
We love that toothy grin!(Six teeth in all!)
