Everyone was looking to get out of the house today due to the overcast weather yesterday. I suggested that we go to Peace Valley Park for a hike on the nature trail. Once we got there we first went to the bird blind and watched the birds. (Dave did pretty good about being quiet butstill needs a little work on that. We only stayed until some serious bird watchers joined us.) Then we went into the nature center to see the stuffed animals. Dave thought it was neat to be able to touch a real fox. There were also mystery boxes with things to feel and guess. Dave did cheat a little bit by lifting the lid and looking inside beforesticking his hand in the hole to feel it. Then it was off to the mini loop to do some hiking. Chris and I both thought that was all Dave would be able to walk. We first came across a small pond where there were tons of little baby turtles. Dave was in heaven! Turtles are his favorite animal if you couldn't tell that from our other entries. Here's a picture of one of the mommy turtles sitting on a log.
We walked the whole mini loop and Dave asked what was next. We decided to hike another trail and another trail and another trail.
We saw some birds, squirrels, butterflies, bugs, and deer tracks. We even saw a mommy deer and her baby taking a walk!!
Dave was our wonderful tour guide! He looks a little sad to be heading back the trail to get to the car.
