We went hiking yesterday and this is how it went. Ian and I walked, Lucy stopped to pick up every leaf that had fallen in the forest to put into her pumpkin bag. Ian and I yelled at Lucy to pick up the pace, to run, to do anything that resembled moving forward and Lucy said "I need some rocks" and proceeded to stop to pick up gravel. Ian offered to give Lucy a shoulder ride, she accepted then needed to get down to pick flowers. I picked flowers for her and she proceeded to need acorns, gum tree seeds, pine cones, whatever. The one thing that kept her moving was actually trying to race us. The other big event, trying to identify the poop she saw on the ground. I think next time we will skip the hike and just call it a nature walk.
