Adventures

On Saturday, we visited friends and Jim got himself thoroughly filthy while riding ATVs in the mud while the girls and I stayed clean indoors.  Perhaps the girls would have preferred to be outside with their dad, with the wind whipping through their hair (or rather, “hairs”!), but we still managed to keep them entertained inside.  It’s always an adventure to be in a new place, even if there aren’t rivers to ford or hills to climb.  The girls enjoyed the feel of our friends’ wood floors – they’ve rarely been on anything other than carpet, so this was a new experience for them.

Becky was excited that she could stay on the area rug, but still reach over and slap the wood floor and make a good smack sound.

Susie ventured off the carpet and was surprised that it was more difficult to crawl with her knees sliding all over the  place on the slick floor. 

The real adventure, though, involved tastebuds.  Becky went bonkers over a wedge of orange I gave her.  She acted as if she had been given a slice of heaven. 

I hope, for my sake, that the girls’ adventures remain this tame for a while.  It won’t be long before their daddy will be taking them on true adventures, and I’ll be longing for the days when they were thrilled to simply touch wood floors than barrel through the woods!
