Morning Hike with Friends

This morning, Melia and her mom came over to hike with Collin and I in the bird sanctuary. We spent about an hour looking for the frogs, turtles and bugs. The bull frogs were out and croaking REALLY loud. Melia thought they were cows by the sound they were making. I found one of the several that were croaking. Just at that time, a bunny hopped out from the woods onto the path we were on. Both Melia and Collin started to walk towards the bunny that then hopped back to the edge of the woods. We asked what the bunny was doing and they both replied that he was looking for food. Melia specifically said he was looking for carrots. Friends thinking alike. We then walked further so we could show our friends our favorite resting spot. Because of the recent rains, the creek was really moving....enough to have white caps.

On the way back, Melia found some doodle bugs. They both had to investigate the bugs. Collin would cover them up with leaves and Melia would have to find them again. We started waking again and Melia let out a shout because she saw a BIG bug. We ran over to see it. Collin saw it and promptly stepped on it to squish it. He thought he was taking care of "his girl". She was not sure how to react to this....did she want the bug to go splat?

We were all getting sweaty so we headed back to the house for a snack of strawberries, blueberries and a banana. What a great way to start the morning.
