I love outside play! I love exploring and discovering and getting carried away with the millions of amazing things that are waiting for you right in your front yard. One day when we were playing out front, I was enjoying sitting in the rocking chairs and the kids were looking around in the front yard. All of a sudden, Peter exclaims that he's found something pretty awesome. In one of our bushes, tons of teeny tiny baby snails were creeping around. The kids were in heaven! They found the snails fascinating, and immediately set up a "snail hospital" to nurse the snails back to health (though truth be told those snails were looking pretty good on their own). All afternoon Lizzy and Peter played with the snails. I was in heaven. I loved seeing their excitement, their plans forming, their imaginations and creativity taking off. Those are the best moments for me, and I do treasure them.
