We have had some wonderful weather lately and it was going to be a beautful day on President's Day, so Levi told Nolan he would take him for a hike! They both were so excited to go! So they went to Reedy Creek Park, which has some beautiful walking trails. At the nature center they found out they could check out a hiking backpack for the kids if you left your ID. So Nolan had a backpack with a compass, binoculars, and a guidebook on the wildlife in the area. I went to the gym with the girls and was a little concerned when I got back home that I did not hear from them. Turns out they were taking a path to the stone house out in middle of the woods (reedy creek used to be a farm a LONG time ago), and ended up taking a wrong turn somewhere and they both ended up hiking for 3 hours. Levi said Nolan was a trooper, but when he got home, boy was he pooped! His dad was too! But they both had a good time and Levi got some pretty pictures! We thought we would share... enjoy!

Looking out for wildlife!
Hitting the trail!
This is my fav. picture Levi took! A lizard with an attitude!
Checking out a cricket! This was also in his hiking bag!
Levi took this picture because he said it was a cool looking trunk!
I said it was neat how there happened to be a lizard on it!
He said, "What Lizard?"
Do you see it?
It makes me laugh because he also took another picture of the
tunk zoomed in, but he still did not notice it!
He is very well camoflaged!
Nolan at the stone house! They finally made it!
The only problem is then they had to walk back!
Another cool picture of the twisted orange tree!
A Mightly Oak of the Forest!
I just think this is a pretty picture!

Doesn't seem like a good idea to leave your ID behind on a hike - what if they find you somewhere after you hit your head and you can't remember who you are? :) Great pictures - looks like fun! I'm hoping we can go camping/hiking sometime soon -if the weather keeps being nice.
Great pictures. I makes me miss Reedy Creek Park. We had some great hiking memories there.
So, let me get this straight...Levi took Nolan on a walk in the woods (without ID) and got utterly lost. Nice spin, Audra! ;P
Sounds like a memorable, great adventure.
Well, you can't get but so utterly lost in Reedy Creek park. It is still in a city, so it is not but so big. Not quite like getting lost in Yellowstone or something. haha! If he got hit on the head I am sure the nature center would be aware that he got hit... but yeah, that is true! Maybe I will ask them about it next time!
