While I was gone to Nashville, Jeremy meticulously planned a camping trip. Kirk has been asking to go "tent camping" for months, and Jeremy was just as excited as he was (although he'd never admit it). They went to Carter Caves, and Kirk proclaimed that they had an "AWESOME time!"
Kirk was so happy in the tent, although he told me that the next time they go camping, they want a camper! Haha!
Kirk's favorite part was mining for gem stones. He has an entire collection of gems that he "surprised" me with when I got home. Jeremy said he was so excited to do it (twice) and talked about it forever.
I love this picture of Kirk standing by a natural bridge that they found on their hiking trail. Jeremy said Kirk hiked along for over 3 miles....and talked the WHOLE WAY. Ha!
This is by far my favorite picture Jeremy took. Jeremy said Kirk thought it was cool that he let him walk ahead "all by himself." I look at this picture and I see my grown up boy who still looks so small in the world. He will be five years old soon....and go to kindergarten....and he can do so many things for and by himself. He will always be my tiny baby boy, and this picture makes me think about how small he is, but how much he has and will affect this big world. He has completely changed the world for me. He is still a little boy, but I know he will do BIG things. I'm so glad my boys had a good time on their camping trip and I'm so proud of them both for making it work and having a good time. There are a lot of dads out there who wouldn't be able to pull that off, and this trip was just another reason why Jeremy Walker is the best dad I know.
Another yoga quote of the day....really meaningful and a reminder to be thankful for the things I have in this life. I will continue one day at a time, and try to remember to make time for gratitude each day.
