Today we decided to head to the East River Trail and go for a "nature walk". The boys had a good time. We didn't walk long...once we got into the forest-y part we ran into some mosquitoes.

All the little nature walkers
Some nature we saw...other than mosquitoes!
Unfortunately, we didn't see any animals but we did see several birds including a trio of goldfinches. We heard a chickadee but didn't see it. I think it was Justus who recognized the call. We haven't seen (or heard) a chickadee in quite awhile. They were common at the old house but not so much here on Trotter Court.
After we finished the walk we had a snack and the boys played at the playground. They really enjoyed the merry-go-round. Those aren't a common toy on playgrounds anymore! Wesley was spinning around yelling: "This is AWESOME!". Hayden was a bit scared but toughed it out. We headed home a bit later to the usual "when can we come backs?"

Beautiful day for a nature walk. It
ReplyDeletedoes kind of put a damper on things
with those pesky mos. Those flowers
are very pretty (or weeds?). The
boys look like they are enjoying
themsevles.

The nature walk and merry-go-round sounded like fun for all; that's a pretty trail.
