A Morning Stroll

This morning, Braden and I visited Turkey Creek to enjoy the beautiful fall weather.

It was so nice to walk and just enjoy the quiet nature sounds around us.

I get so caught up sometimes in being a mom, and doing schoolwork, I forget sometimes to step outside.

In this little pond under the bridge, there were TURTLES. Tons of them!

Glad I had my camera! I also caught a picture of a spider, so if you're afraid of them, don't let it sneak UP ON YOU!!


Braden rode the first 3/4 mile and then pushed the stroller himself, the rest of the 3/4.

I'm not the only one that's old. J/K. I have no idea how old this tree is! :-)

Alot of families come out here and swim. You can bring floats or canoes and drift around the creek in a circle. Lots of docks to get in and out of the water, and a very very strong current.

Again, the little imp refused to wear shoes.

More turtles...watch out for the spider!


I like to run out here when the weather turns cooler.
OKAY.....Here's the spider. Pretty neat - it was stretched out above our heads across the path.





There were TONS of these birds in a huge flock. Not sure what they were.


Little Stinker. Hope you enjoyed the "virtual walk". Braden even wore his NATURE shirt..."Don't Bug Me"! We need to do this every morning!
