Hiking with Nick

Got the kids to myself until Monday so today after I dropped Angie off at preschool Nick and I went for a hike at Great Seneca Creek Park. Don't tell Angie, she hates when we do something and she's not around. Nick wasn't so sure about going in the beginning...

Eventually he got into it. Somewhere in the middle of the hike I explained how the sticks on the ground were from the trees. For the next 30 minutes he picked up every stick and tried to figure out what tree it came from. Needless to say its a progress killer. We did see a chipmunk, squirrel and deer which Nick was somewhat interested in. Towards the end we crossed a wooden bridge over a creek where Nick stopped for a good 15 minutes to pick up leaf after leaf and throw it in.
