On Monday we went out to Busey Woods and Anita Purves nature center to meet some of our playgroup friends. It was a beautiful day that warmed up nicely for a walk in the woods.
As soon as we arrived and started walking toward the building Henry started pointing and say "nake" (snake) over and over again. He was so excited to go in and see all the snakes and they were nice enough to be out crawling around their cages for us to see. I think he really likes them, because when we visited a while back Carol Jo, the animal keeper, let Henry pet them and help change their water.
Henry is really able to walk quite far and he walked on most of our hike around the boardwalk. He enjoyed pointing out the squirrels and birds and saying uphigh. There is a nice seasonal pond also in the woods and that was great fun to look in and to throw rocks in.
One of the funny things he really played with on our walk was walking backwards. He can walk backwards and has done it before, but yesterday he was really enjoying it. He would turn around and walk backwards for long stretches smiling and occasionally looking over his shoulder to see where he was going.
Hopefully, I can take him out more often and let him enjoy the ponds and snake.
