Walking in the Woods on a Summer Evening

A walk that Asa and I had done with friends, that he was very interested in showing to Mommy.  

We walked for about a mile and a half, and our little trooper scampered along happily, carrying his treasure bag full of stones, acorns, pine cones and mica.

This rock, however, we left by the side of the trail.

The rocks by the waterfall proved a good place to balance the camera for a family picture.  Elias was much more interested in the water than the camera, though; this was one of just a couple of pictures that didn't show the back of his head.

Beautiful family, beautiful place.  Lucky me.

Elias definitely got the best seat in the house.  The only seat, for that matter.  (See, kid, crawling and walking are overrated.)
