I know – the older children in the group were here as toddlers and they went hiking then. I was confident that all of the children in the group would be able to spend the full day outdoors. If anyone was going to complain it would be the older ones – I thing school (and bus transportaion) has made them a little lazy.
My concern was taking three toddlers – if they didn’t want to walk I did have strollers – if they did want to walk I would have empty strollers to haul. Luckily there was a combination of both hiking and riding toddlers. One 19 month old actually walked the entire 5 hour hike only stopping to sit for meals!
We checked out all the wildflowers and priarie plants – even recognized some that we have in our garden;
This white/beige plant created a lot of interest – we don’t know what it is;
It is very fine and from a distance it looks a little like fog – if you know what it is please leave a comment;
It was a beautiful day and the scenery was amazing;
We met some new friends;
It was an awesome day. We hope to do some more outings next week too. Sadly we will be unable to visit Wild Earth Farms where some of our vegetables come from but I’m certain there will be other outdoor adventures before school starts again.
