Running wild

I've been ploughing my way through Richard Louv's book Last child in the woods, reading about the importance of kids running wild through nature. Climbing trees, jumping across small brooks and going out fishing. It's very well documented, with lots and lots of pages and I'm finding it hard going, a bit like a long run.

But when I saw this I sighed with relief. My kids are doing the Last child in the woods-thing!

Running wild.

Mine even get ladders in order to climb trees. They roll in mud puddles like little sows, it's great.

GREAT photo. I love that. I always push my kids to be out running wild and playing in the rain and the mud. Enough with TV and video games already!

Love this! We just moved from the city to the country... Well as country as it gets in Orange County! We have lots of mountain trails though so I can't wait for my little ones to get older so we can explore!

How fun! At least they'll get some of their energy out outside versus mine running wild indoors!
