Black Friday is a great day to shop if that is what you are into, but for me and mine, it is a great day to #OptOutside, especially when the weather is gorgeous. This morning, 31 of us took advantage of the wonderful weather and did some hiking at Lapham Peak State Park.
After meeting at the tower and descending the nearly 120 steps into the forest, we prepared for the hike with Adam Rubin's Those Darn Squirrels. Just like the squirrels combined their expertise to help out Old Man Fookwire in the story, we would team up and work together to build a winter den.
Building a winter den takes planning and an important initial decision is location, location, location.
Once we found oi spot, it was teamwork and hard work combining together to create a den the animals would be proud to call their home. Of course, we had to test it out.
With hard work comes hard play, so we found a great spot to explore off trail and enjoy the wonders of natural play.
After wrapping up play, hiking back through the woods, and ascending those steps back to the tower, it was time for more steps as we climbed the tower and got beautiful views of lake country.
With another tyke on the way in just a few weeks, tyke hiking may slow down a bit but it won't be long before we are all back on the trail, enjoying nature and each other. Happy Trails until then!
