Life seems to have become very busy lately, something I do feel all the comfortable with and long for the calm we had a year ago, just us two on our daily adventures, now it seems like we are going from one place to another without a moment to stop and breath. So when we have that simple time during the week I treasure it even more. This week we visited one of our favourite places - Bute Park in Cardiff. It has so many elements to it, a river and small bridge to play poo sticks, daffodils to run through, a natural adventure area and lots and lots of space to run.
It also feels like the little man is changing so much and we are all oman adventure into the unknown. He is growing, bigger and stronger everyday and his love for the outdoors still shines as strong as ever, as does mind, I just wish I could slow down time every now and then.
We spent a good two hours in Bute Park and collected a bunch of sticks and acorns for our nature table at home. We also spotted a few squirrels and he had a little chat with his friend Mr toad - one of the many wooden sculptors dotted around the city park.
The little man can now do this rope bridge pretty much on his own, I am so proud of him, for all his little achievements.
We live just near a huge country park and I don't take the girls there nearly enough - now the weather is definitely on our side I'll make more effort. Don't think my biggun would be brave enough to try the rope bridge yet!
ReplyDeleteMy mother-in-law is from wales and I want my son to visit the place. Your photos are amazing and so much space to run and be a kid =)

I do see what you mean, I have been following you now for over a year and I see a huge change in your young boy. He is meeting every new challenge in life so well and doing more in every post. Well done on the rope bridge.
ReplyDeleteThese times will always be special. They grow so fast and it's great to see their achievements. My wee man is a proper monkey these days #countrykids
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! It's amazing to look back and see how they have grown and changed x
ReplyDeletesuch lovely photos! even as an outsider, it's so sweet to see how children grow up (so quickly) and how they become their very own person.
ReplyDeleteI love Roath Park too. Your little one is growing oh my!
ReplyDeleteDo they do Little Man's coat in adult sizes - it's great!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I were talking this morning about how we have forgotten that the children sometimes just need a run around in a park. We took them yesterday to a local garden and they just ran around and played their own little games - was so lovely to remember that it is so often the simplest things that can make little people so happy! xx
