Hiking

On Saturday we headed out to Arbor Hills Nature Preserve to go on a family hike.
Because of Hurricane Harvey (down south), the weather in our area had cooled off a little.


I'm really looking forward to fall weather when we can get out more!


They loved throwing rocks in any water we came across.


Trying to learn how to skip rocks


It started to rain, so we stopped under a shelter for a picnic lunch.

They played on the playground for a bit.  We had been there for a few hours.  I assumed we would head home, but Olivia wanted "more adventure!".  So we set out for another hike.
Who knew cactus grew here? We were a little surprised.

It was nice to find, point out, and observe all sorts of aspects of nature.

I spy a pretty butterfly.

Spider!

We made it up to a high look out spot.  So fun!

These two.  They just did this ll on their own.  Love them!

We were there from 11 until nearly 3.  Now that's a hike! 😉
