Faith had been asking me to bring her out on the new nature trail that had been created across the street from the Elementary school. Audrey wasn't too thrilled but she agreed to join Faith and I. Holly chose to stay home. It was a nice little adventure. Hiking along; our sneakers were very quickly soaked through in the wet grass. Grover's whiskers were wet and drippy but he happily bounded along the grassy trail. He looks like a bunny bouncing along!
The girls were grumpy and arguing at first but soon got into the groove and began running ahead to see what was next around each bend in the path. There is a story book about a beaver and a moose, with pages posted a long the way. They read the story as we went along.
Soon we heard lots of noise and when we came upon the river, we found hundreds of geese swimming and honking happily. When they heard our voices they quickly started flapping and rose up into the air. What a fuss they made! A sight to see. I didn't even take a picture cause they were to fascinating to watch.
Then we discovered wildflowers. Tall, tall yellow wildflowers. Audrey went to pick one and pulled it right out of the ground roots and all. Faith pouted because her flowers stem wasn't quite as long as Audreys. She gets mad but gets over it quite quickly.
LOVE THIS TREE!
The best part though was along the end of the trail where we found some very large and unusually shaped maple trees. They had low branches that were easy to climb upon and soon all three of us were crawling along the branches. So that was our little Sunday adventure. We were wet and tired but we got a lot of great pictures.
