Enzo coddling a kid, despite his allergies. He’s cuddly and touchy-feely with many animals, pythons included.
This farm house on top of a hill is also a home on the range where the horses, goats and chickens feed in harmony
But the goats keep to themselves
Nature watching
And this would have the scene that greeted him that morning
Nature tripping
And this is the view he may have seen
The same island has many beaches. Here Enzo prepares to drive from a diving plank

He’s a very lucky chap indeed – our worry is that gadgets are taking over the lives of kids and bringing them back to ‘earth’ is such an important part of being a child 😀
Thanks so much. And I like the fact too that he loves animals. Anyone who does is a gentle soul.

Looks like he had some wonderful experiences! We took this sort of day for granted when we were kids – so nice that he’s able to have this as well. (And by the way, he’s a real cutie!)
Thank you. As parents we try our best that experiences these things – as ‘Animal Couriers’ said, that we him back to earth and away from some cosmic world of computer games. Thanks, I think he took his looks after his Papa, ha ha.
Thank you.
Eva
I’m sure this made for some good memories that he will carry with him as he grows up – well done!
Reblogged this on crisp clean clear and commented:
experiences during youth help determine future directions in life. very nice post, indeed
Way to enhance experience during early age! That’s always a good practice.
Thanks for validating Rommel.

It’s great to see happiness in his smile and eyes. What amazing memories you’ll all have with time like this together.
That’s true. Nothing can be more rewarding to a parent than to see smile and laughter in the child’s eyes.
Thanks for dropping by.

Nature animals and children seem so real. I love to see children play. Enzo looks very happy.
Hello Beatrix.
He likes the experience a lot. We even let him bathe in the rain. And thanks to the generosity of my in-laws who let us use the farm house anytime we like to.

This one’s great! Kids nowadays even if they’re only 5 know how to open the computer or use the iPhone.Nature is love 🙂
Thanks Tin! Even I in all of my 44 years still find so much thrill getting my feet wet in the grass.

Wonderful! I just spent the weekend in a cabin in the woods( with no cell phone or Internet service) and it was magical!
Oh, that’s exactly the point. Communing with nature beats the ‘high’ one gets from gadgets and similar stuff.

I love the first picture of him holding a kid. The landscape shots are really breathtaking.
Thank you so much! The nature shots are view from the farm house.

Hi Eva,
Thanks for liking my post!
My daughter is only 22 months old and has not discovered the “scary” world of gadgets … yet. I’m hoping she won’t especially since her parents are not gadget freaks at all. She loves animals too btw =)
I think that’s a very good parenting decision. I’m with you on this one. At least not now, yet.

Eva
Gadgets sad to say are here to stay. The important thing is balance. Nothing should replace the hands on experience of exploring the world around us. They make lasting memories. You can’t look back at a gadget and remember, but you can look at a photo and remember the joy and feelings you had at that moment. Good for you for providing these memories for your handsome son.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thanks so much. You’ve been most kind and I appreciate the validation.

Eva
Eva, Enzo is so adorable…and the look of wonder is priceless!
Thanks Lotta! He’s my precious!

Great post …. It is inspirational for a dad like me (have a 4 yr old son and 1 yr old daughter) … Always scared with their affinity to gadgets at this young age … But you have given me ideas.
Thank you Maverick!
Love, love, love this! Your pictures are beautiful. Thanks for visiting!
Thanks for visiting my blog too.
