statia walks

one of my most favorite things to do with the boys here is go for morning walks. it used to be a lot more work pushing them in the stroller or dragging them along as they complained about being tired, but they love it now, and we're often off to complete our little loop after breakfast :)



first stop - see if sandy's out and about and give her a good morning pet!

next….gecko wall! that's what we call it at least because we ALWAYS see at least 1 gecko on it and usually more like 5 or 6. the boys always try to touch their tails before they scurry away but haven't been successful yet!

they always practice their balance on the curb going up/down rosemary lane, and we don't pass this cobblestone wall without climbing it before…...

stopping at the dutch plumber for a juice box!!! this is what they look forward to most of course, and it's about half way home and before the steep climb back to our house, and there's a/c so the dutch plumber knows us well! the boys pick their juice and pay for it and then settle in on the lawn chairs for sale while i stand in front of the a/c to cool of :) love!!!

beckam's always waving at people, and maddie's started following his lead too. such a friendly place :)

there is flower picking for mom/dad all along the way and….

 

 we have lots of friends to visit too! sampson always comes to the fence for a little scratch and whines when we leave without taking him with us, and benji's usually hiding in a corner after eating his breakfast but is sometimes out and about for a visit!

       

 

and we always, always end our walks with a freezie of course!!!! gotta cool down somehow!

 

i love holding the little hands of my boys on our walks, and i love how they stop to notice everything and have to balance on every curb and how they love their juice boxes SO much! we will miss the hills and friends and views of statia on our morning walks :) so thankful for the past 16 months full of amazing, hot, beautiful mornings with my boys though!
