Adventure!

The adventure begins!

Matthew is on spring break this week. I stayed home today to hang out and since it was so lovely we decided to go on an adventure. We have a nature preserve within very short walking distance, but in almost 5 years of living here, we've never explored it. Until today..

And there's a creek! We had to cross it several times and it was big fun. 

The girl scouts placed a few benches

Bridge. Matthew believes it must have been the Girl Scouts' bridge. 

Eli was leader for part of the trip

Matthew and Eli found walking sticks

There were many fallen trees

I thought these plants were neat

 I thought these plants were neat too

and I liked the bark on this tree
