spring hiking at Breithaupt Park

4/12/2016

2 Comments

 
Today marks exactly a year since we launched the kid/caregiver hikes that are now called Tales and Trails. Last year, at Breithaupt Park, it was a sunny, warm day - so warm that some children wore shorts. Today... a bit different. But the hardy folks who braved the unpredictable weather had a wonderful walk. We talked of spring flowers - snow drops - and seeds and bulbs and signs of spring around us. 

On our hike, we saw some plants starting to grow, some trees that had fallen in winter storms, and found a great place to play: The Nest. Within minutes, The Nest became part nest / part pirate ship. The mast hoisted, cannon ready to fire...

​Off to the side, a comfy birds' nest was constructed from soft fall leaves. In another tree, potential for a fairy house. It's truly amazing what we can find in the woods!

There was a bit of snow falling, and a bit of sun shining through. Oh spring, what a mixed up season you are!

What a great start to the season. We loved your bulb growing story and the spring time song! Thanks for a lovely time. Hopefully next week it will be warm enough to play in that glorious mud. We will bring the extra pants for it. hehehe :)
