Little Family Trip - Stone Fairies

Hello lovely Hiveans !

The last weeks were some very exciting ones for our family 🤗 .. We welcomed a new family member to our little family and are now a total of four 🥳 .. of course, there are also our two cats here, so we actually are a six membered gang 😜 .. Thus, my wife will stay at home for a few days with our new son 🤱 .. But as my older one has vacations right now and I have a few days off, due to fatherhood vacations, we are planing to spend some valuable Father-Son time together. This will also give the others a bit of a more quiet and relaxed environment while we are out of the house ^^

The Ice Melts

I was showing a frozen lake two weeks ago. It was a small one that is located just 4 km away from us. For a little excursion we aimed to visit it another time to check out if it is still frozen or already had started to melt ❄️

The lake already started to melt. But this did not hinder us from throwing branches and stones again 😉 .. But this time they did not slide along the icy surface, but splashed inside the water, which was a lot of fun for him. We spend quite a while doing this at several places around the lake 🪨 .. Throwing stones is something he really enjoys, hehe 😁

This a actually not the highlight of that day, also it was already really cool. While we were walking around the lake we mentioned little Stone Fairies everywhere around the area 👻

Stone Ferries

There were Stone Ferries everywhere around the place ! .. Actually they were coloured stones, but I really love to view them as Fairies. Some of them looked clearly like insects, but some looked more indistinctive. Overall we discovered around 30 of them, but I will only present to you those who looked most impressive to me 🤗

I really like these two fellows here. They look like they are sitting in front of their little cave 😍 .. This is why I had to think about Fairies in the first place. Whoever placed them there must be a pure nature lover. I really really like this initiative 😁

There was another trio of Fairies sitting in front of that tree here that looked really lovely and fitting ^^

Examining the area more closely revealed them in various places, like on that tree stump here ^^ .. All stones were painted totally different, so that I believe that either a really creative person or a whole bunch of people started a big initiative 😁

My son was super fascinated and one day in the future we will create our own little Fairies 🌱 .. He likes stones anyway, as well as painting, and it would be a nice activity to do together .. They would also be make a beautiful decor element in our accommodation 🤗

I hope that you like these nice Stone Fairies ^^ .. We enjoyed them a lot and got inspired to paint or own ones in time too 🖌️🎨

More Valuable Family Time ^^

As I will have the next week a time off from work, there will be time to support my wife while looking after the new family member 🤗 .. But I will also use it to spend some more Father-Son time, while simultaneously granting them a bit of rest from us "relatively" loud ones 😁 .. The last week's were quite stressing and we are lacking a lot of sleep already, but we will do the best to make this time a meaningful one for us all 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦
