On our Hike…

Tucker jam packed his backpack with just the essentials: a ball, lots of mints, a random stuffed person no one ever plays with, several random stuffed animals no one ever plays with, plus everyone’s favorite loveys/stuffed animals.  Tucker’s shorts were too loose and falling down so Austin told him to get a belt. So he was sporting a belt as well… unfortunately his shorts didn’t have belt loops.

We came across this carved wood statue randomly in the woods, and Molly took quite a liking to it.  She likes to play pretend in the woods so usually the woods is her house and she tells about the different parts of the house as we hike pass (ie a hill is her stairs, a reservoir is her bath tub…). 

After passing the statue, she decided that the statue was actually her husband, who was dead.  He died because he went into the fireplace when he was trying to catch the fairies.  She was originally supposed to be his mom but he was born before her so she instead became his wife.  His name was Moses because he has a staff.  (I’m sure I’m missing some details of her story, but that was the gist of it.)
