March 1, 2014 - This past Saturday was just an amazing day to walk in the park. The temperature neared 80 degrees and the sky was clear. And good thing we decided to go out and explore nature on that day because Sunday was the complete opposite, with temperatures at 20 degrees and freezing rain. You just have to love TX climate. Granted, the temperatures are still not steady enough to find all those beautiful things you see during the spring time; but one can still look, right? Besides encountering many dogs being walked by their owners; and my Kaylee wanting to pet each and every one of them, we did discovered the following things.
1. A long stick that helped us reach Kaylee's paper boat before it got too far into the center of the pond. Of course to reach the stick (which was by the edge of the water) we had to get our shoes muddy; but hey, we got the boat.
2. Large logs that allowed the scouts to count their rings to see how old the trees were. Well, in reality they tried but couldn't determine how old the trees were. Let's just say they must have been old since the logs were very large. We also discovered that large logs make great places to sit and rest while observing our surroundings. 
3. An amazing pattern on a tree trunk which we believe it was carved by termites.
4. Holes on a tree trunk which we believe were made by wood peckers.
5. And we also discovered that going on a long trail walk with kids and forgetting the water in the car is not a good idea unless you are willing to put up with complaining scouts. I suppose the lesson of the day was to always be prepared. Good going mom scout!
