About a month ago we were invited to hang out with Nathan, Lisa and a few other friends on "the land". It was beautiful. It wasn't as soul stirring as was our original Walden experience this past summer. Maybe because this time we had our kids with us or maybe because there were a bunch of other people with us or maybe because we had access to running water and electricity (thanks entirely to solar paneling). I felt a lot more removed from nature but I think there are advantages and disadvantages to being removed. I enjoyed the advantages after a pretty busy summer as well as having the kids with us. There really is something quite special about being a minority in the wild, children feel it too, the space, the fresh air, the natural adventure found in trees, rivers and open land.
Oliver found a frog, you can barely make it out in this pic but it's there.

That sounds absolutely fabulous! There's something special about space- it gives room for thought, and adventure as you say! I bet it was nice that running water and electricity were to be found when you had the kids with ya!
So jealous! Can't wait to see it!
