Another memorable outing with Grandma and Grandpa was a trip to Eno River State Park. This is only about 20 minutes from our house and Ian loves going, but we hardly ever get there. He used to go every week with his nanny but these days it's only under special circumstances, though we should try to go more often. Walks in the woods with a river give opportunities for many activities Ian loves.

The expression captures it all:
