One of the goals of the Tyke Hike program is to get more and more people out and enjoying nature. However, while getting large amounts of hikers is fun and impressive, it can sometimes be overwhelming. Tonight's hike took more of a "quality over quantity" approach, but the seven hikers certainly enjoyed a beautiful day out in nature.
Enjoying a portion of the Ice Age Trail's Pike Lake Segment and the Black Forest Nature Trail loop, we battled somewhat ominous skies and some humidity for a wonderful walk in the woods. We caught some amphibian friends, spotted out and avoided the wild parsnip, and investigated a natural spring. .

| You can't not stop and play at this beauty |
Of course, we stopped for natural play and even changed a few dirty diapers.

It was an excellent evening for letting nature entertain us and as usual, Mother Nature did not disappoint.
