The temps around our parts have been reaching the high 90's......indoor weather for us. But on a recent, uncharacteristic act of early morning motivation on my part, I fed the kids breakfast, sunscreened them up and we headed out the front door for a nature walk before it got too hot.
Stafford Lake is just across the street from the ranch with a trail running from it all the way into town, about four miles.
We didn't walk four miles {eight round trip}, I am not that motivated. But we did walk about two miles round trip, without too many complaints from the kiddos.
We made it an adventure to see what type of creatures we could encounter on our walk.
Lizards a plenty.
One thing I had not even anticipated was that my little guy would also find his first experience with poison oak....although we didn't find out until a day or so later. It's on his face, arms and hands.
