Today has been lovely & sunny, still only about 10 degrees, but lovely & sunny none the less. We spent a good part of the morning in Huckle's yard, a fenced off area where no dogs or alpacas are allowed. We're so lucky to have this space for him to explore freely. He fossicks through the fallen bark & leaves, walks through the tea trees & watches the ducks in the dam. He is peaceful out here, quietly taking it all in. Tractors hum along in the next paddock, old planes fly overhead & a variety of birds call their morning songs.
The latest addition to his special space is a sandpit. I found it on ebay & it only cost us $16, including sand! Thrifty little mama, I am. We tested it out this morning & it's a hit, he absolutely loves it. Fish were buried & found, buckets were filled & castles were smooshed & there was one happy little boy.
I'm looking at adding some more features to this space, some obstacle elements & perhaps a mini garden too. I'm gathering ideas on pinterest & being ever inspired by these blogs...
Do you have a special spot in your garden, or in a nearby park? I'd love to hear your ideas for exploring outdoors with little ones.
