"Now we are four"

One of the joys of woodland strolling is examining puddles for things to poke with your stick. At least it is if you are pre-school!
Keeping up with Grandpa today, the little ones were very happy to carry small size sticks when they spent the afternoon with us today. Grandpa, on the other hand, is becoming less dependant on the stick although he may well take up the walking stick as a matter of course. Or maybe not; we shall see.
