Children have a habit of seeing things that us adults just can’t. They see magic everywhere. When I’m with my three, I can’t help but see the magic too:

Take last weekend. It was cold and very misty. The girls were going a little loopy and Daddy was home, so we decided to wrap up warm and go out for a little walk. We always like to try and get outdoors at weekends. Husband almost didn’t take his camera and told me it was pointless taking mine as the photos wouldn’t be any good…but I ignored him, persuaded him to take his too and am I glad I did:

We went for a little walk at the top of a hill on the Cotswold Way. We have been meaning to visit for a while now but as we drove to it we realised we were climbing higher and higher into the clouds. I thought the girls would be grumpy but no, they couldn’t wait to get out and see if they could touch the sky with their fingers:

At the start we could hardly see a thing. The girls would run forward a little and then turn back, checking we were there. They never usually do that. After a while the mist began to part slightly and we were given glimpses of what would be wonderful views:

It really was freezing but they didn’t winge or whine. Instead they ran, skipped, jumped in puddles and justchad fun:

Its amazing how with children, a misty cold day can turn into an exciting walk out. They imagined they were entering another world and it looks like it too.

Do you see the magic?
