A Trip to Holmes Forest Over Spring Break




The week after Easter was Spring Break from school. Mom, dad and I tried to stay busy and outdoors as much as possible, of course, the weather took a turn towards cold, but mainly at night and in the evening. We met our friends at the Holmes Educational Forest. Carsten, 7 and Elijah 4, had never been there before so I got to show them the ropes.  First we hiked on the Talking Tree trail. Carsten had a wildflower guide and pointed out some of the wildflowers that were blooming (which was hard to believe since it was 37 degrees that morning).  But there were tons of gorgeous flowers. Carsten also helped us littler guys take turns pushing the buttons on the talking trees.  After the trail we headed to the big, yellow helicopter for a picnic and a play.  I so enjoyed pretending to be part of an army helicopter team!
