Hike to Pilcher Park

We took a nice hour long hike to Pilcher Park. There were different trails to take-from .5 mile to 2 miles. We took the 2 mile trail to the greenhouse. It was nice because you have a choice of taking the paved trail or unpaved. We took the paved one to minimize our exposure to the mosquitos. I forgot to bring the repellant. I'm so mad at myself for doing this so I'm picking up an extra can next time I'm out.

Nature Hike- Fullersburg Woods

Our family loves to commune with nature. My kids love to run and discover even the tiniest little creature crawling in the dirt. The thrill of what they might see along the trail keeps them moving. Along the way, there were photo shoots taken, games played, walking stick fights and imaginary stories being told. How fun is that! For this summer, I set up a goal of hiking 10 different places. However, with Bill's very busy schedule, we've only been to 2. Nevertheless, we've enjoyed the last 2 new places we've explored despite the scary mosquito bite that Kelly got. Here's some of the pictures we took.
