Adventure!

We've been using mapquest a lot lately to find our way around. As I was looking at the map the other day, I noticed a state park less than 5 miles up the road. On Thursday, we were itching to get out of the house and it wasn't rainy, so I told the boys that if they took a good nap, we'd go on an "adventure".

Boy, they sure loved that idea!

It ended up being just a parking lot and a few trails, but it was perfect for a short little adventure, and it sure was beautiful! We chose the shortest trail and started down the path.



It was perfect for the boys because there were plaques all along the way that told a story about a little mouse exploring the woods. They had fun running excitedly ahead to find the next plaque to continue the story.

The walk was gorgeous. Tall trees, ferns, moss. So pretty. I could not get over all the moss.







I had the boys stand under some mossy branches for a picture and right before I snapped it, Asher said, "This is SO scary!"



Now the boys keep asking me if we can go on another "adventure".

Great. Now I'm going to have to continue to come up with amazing outings to keep them entertained. At least there are other new places to explore. Hopefully we don't run out of them too soon. :)
