Spring Fling at Hidden Pond

We love Hidden Pond Nature Center.  Especially on a 70-degree February day when we are itching for spring!  We grabbed a friend from Tess' church class, Patricia Pixton, and headed over for a spur-of-the-moment nature outing.  Patricia recently got a hair cut and it's kind of hard to tell the two girls apart!  They look a lot alike!

Hidden Pond is such a beautiful place, but it's small and so kid-friendly.   
I just let them have at it and they entertained themselves for hours.


















Of course, Tess couldn't pass up the opportunity to get some coloring in.  After our hike, we had a picnic and the girls played on the playground for another hour and a half.  I'm glad we have another whole year before school starts full-time.  I love these kind of days!

Lauren and I looked at your pictures together, Tess. She had to make every picture bigger so she could spot all of the turtles.

Ack! If I'd let one of my kids on that dock without holding their hand, they would have been swimming!

Love the pic of Drew with a turtle. They look like good friends.
