Just a few miles down the road is this beautiful place that I'd never been to. My friend Mim suggested it for our Monday hike. I was astonished by how beautiful it was and we ended up having a hot and fun adventure.
The kids were all about the binoculars, while we were in the parking lot. But guess who got to hold them the whole time. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of how cute they were pouring over the map. They all wanted to be the map leader, and insisted they knew where we were. It was pretty funny.
There is a really cool nature center at the top of the hill. It is filled with real stuffed- animals you can pet. Charis and Jonas were really into that. They have hawks, mountain lions, rattle snakes, birds, coyotes, etc. And the lady working there was happy to talk with the kids about the animals.
Charis found a secret path that took us through a canopy of brush. It felt very adventuresome. We can't wait to go back when its a bit cooler.
