Hiking with Landon

My little man only goes to school right now on Tuesday and Thursday so that gives me 3 days a week to spend some time with just Landon. We decided that a few weeks ago we would go for a hike at Raven Run. I knew that we were on a time restraint because Brinley is only in school for 3 hours and I had to factor in driving to and from the school. So we decided to take about a hour and a half hike. I was so proud of Landon! He walked for about the first 20 minutes all by himself. I couldn't believe that he made it that far. 
He was so happy to eat his snacks when we got to the overlook. Just a few minutes before we got to the overlook we spotted a couple of whitetail deer. I didn't get my phone out quick enough to get a picture though.
Our view from the overlook. It is so peaceful there and you can even spot fish out in the river. On this trip we even spotted a turtle.
Look at the smile on my little man! I really enjoy our one on one time.
Another picture where he isn't cheesing and he just has his regular smile.
Being silly and Landon won't smile for a picture.
On the return trip back to the car Landon got a little tired and he just wasn't feeling it for a selfie.
One of Landon's favorite resting spots is up on my shoulders. He looks pretty relaxed up there. I am not sure how many more years he will like riding on my shoulders, but I'll try to do it until I can no longer lift the little man up there.
These times with just the two of us guys are so precious to me. I hope that I am always able to spend some time with just him. I know that he won't always want to hang out with his dad, but I want him to know that I will always be there for him if he needs something from his old man. Thanks for reading and God bless!
