I am grateful for ... Free Range Children

I love that phrase: Free Range Children, and that is something my children are.

Saturday the sun was peeking it's smile upon us, I had chores a plenty that had been somewhat neglected and in need of a catch up, I enlisted the assistance of the beautiful Zoe to keep the girls entertained while I set to work but the sun was calling us to make the most of the day,  the chores would be there when we got back so we headed to a local park. After a decent play around while walking back to the car the kids spontaneously sprouted "lets roll down the hill" and proceeded to do just that :-)


They rolled and ran back and rolled and ran back and rolled and then run the rest of the way down ...

They gave me a brief performance on the stage of the bowl.

Then on the walk back discovered a scatter of winter leaves on floor ...


And so the the sunny afternoon rolled by and the so did the fun!

And nothing can recharge ones soul like hanging yourself out to dry in the sun ... even when you are only little ...

I can not think of time that is more wisely spent than with free range children it is food for the soul ... I AM GRATEFUL FOR FREE RANGE CHILDREN!
