One of my favorite places

It is beautiful here today in Nova Scotia and I decided I needed to take the boys somewhere that I haven't taken them yet since being back.  We went to the Hemlock Ravine Park in Bedford.  It's a great place with many walking trails through the woods.



This is Hemlock Ravine Park.  It has a heart shaped pond at the beginning of it.  The pond is called Julie's Pond.  There is actually a great sign at the beginning of the park explaining the history of it that I really should have taken a picture of.  Long and short of the story is Prince Edward (the guy who went on to name the little potato island) had a mistress here in Nova Scotia.  Guess what her name was? She lived here in a mansion and he loved her so much he had this pond made for her in 1790.



We went walking through the woods and I snapped this shot of Joe.  Damn this kid is getting tall!  I can't keep him in pants that fit.


Oh Colby.  Please stop growing up.  I am not ready for the extremely attractive teenager you are turning into.


Unedited because I couldn't bring myself to edit it but DAMN when did he learn this?  He asked me if he could do this and I really didn't think he would!


I love this picture.  You can tell Colby is faking but it's still funny.


They make my  heart sing.  I love Joe's face in this one.



Nothing better than hugging a tree.  I told them we were taking these pictures for Kassie.


Then I gave the camera to Colby.

Photobombed by Joe!


My life.  They constantly amaze me.  This picture was Colby's idea.
