Take a hike!

We have been getting out and enjoying nature a lot this summer!  One of the things that has pushed us to do this is the park passport program.  We have been discovering quite a few new places too!

Lake Conestee is a place we have been before, but we certainly have not been on all the trails, and we had not seen the really cool new park, with a great playground and pavillion.

Here is the entrance to one of the trails


A huge stick!



Grady is actually pointing behind him in awe, not pretending to stab Anson.  Doesn't it look rather prehistoric behind them?



Beavers had apparently been here!


Soon after that I took Grady on a special Mama day, and we went to Pleasant Ridge Park, in northern Greenville county.  Grady and I had a great hike to a waterfall and then stopped to get lunch together on the way home.



Some cool mushrooms




The water is rushing behind him



Mama at the moonshine still remains


And Grady too


It was such a fun day!  Grady loves to hike and never complains.  The trail was pretty difficult at the beginning, so it was nice to get to do it with him on a big boy day!
