Family Hike

The weather has finally cooled down enough to take Chloe out during the "sunny" time. So with a cool breeze and blue skies, we decided to take the kids on a family hike. The trails are very easy and the flowers are beautiful so we spent an entire day in nature. The kids loved stopping at the butterfly house and the turtle pond. I think I took it for granted as a kid that I could take a book and slip into the woods behind our home for a few hours of quite time in nature. I can remember sitting by the stream and just enjoying the peacefulness. I hope that as my kids get older, we can find ways for them to connect with and enjoy all that nature has to offer.
