outdoor monday ~ 4.5 mile hike

We got an email from the park ranger today about a possible Eagle Scout project on one of the trails.  We didn't waste any time and went right away to check it out and then spent the afternoon exploring.

First through the swamp.

Lots of turtles out sunbathing.

We found this little one sitting on the trail.

Dropping bits apple for the fish to eat.

 If you look carefully y'all see the fish eating the apples.

Leaving the swamp and getting into the woods there is this sign.

Skipping and singing 'there are cottonmouths in the woods' to the tune of 'lions tigers and bears.'

Oh my!

These trenches were dug during the Civil War Battle of Lee's Mill.

We didn't see any eastern cottonmouths {no loss there :)}  We did see a couple black rat snakes and had lots of fun!

outdoor monday ~ park

My oldest didn't get his portrait taken with his brother and sisters because he was off taking some pictures of his own.   He would like to share some of the pictures that he took today at the park.
