We start school in 2 days (waaaah) and it was a bit cool this morning so we decided to do some hiking. Our second day of summer break was spent hiking at the Nature Center, so it seems fitting that our 2nd to last day was spent doing the same - although this time at their other location.
We picked two short trails to do which means we have now finished 10 of the 15 trails! Next time we go to the Nature Center we will get the stamps on our passport and get our 2nd prize. We only have one easy hike left and then the remaining four are quite long, so it will be a little tougher to get there, but I'm hoping we can (on the weekends with Jeremy - I don't do super long hikes by myself with the kids).
We did the "Firefly" trail today and the "Barn Owl" trail. The first was mostly prairie like, with lots of wildflowers and bird houses and the second was a little more wooded and interesting and went by a pond. Neither were spectacular, but it felt good to get out and be in nature. It was about 1.5 miles altogether, so not bad at all, and we finished in just over an hour. I'm excited to hike more in the fall since the weather will be more cooperative. I don't like hiking in high heat and humidity!
