It was a steamy Saturday stroll but it was still a great time to get out and explore.
We visited one of our new favorite spots: Mitchell Park in Brookfield and were greeted by a sandhill crane family milling around near the park entrance.
We then walked on a "new to us" paved trail that was bordered by an amazing array of native wildflowers.
Embry was excited to share the plants she recognized and was quick to profess "nature is my weakness" as we strolled through the sun-soaked path.
Seeing all these beautiful plants and flowers just increased my excitement and anticipation of the upcoming prairie planting at my school's outdoor learning area. I can't wait to see it diversified and colorful.
Though the walk e]was shorter than usual, it was also quite exhausting. That being said, high humidity and a blistering heat index couldn't stop the girls from playing, especially when a field of stump jumps presented itself.
A quick walk through the cooler forest path and a snack re-energized us for our walk back to the car.
With an art center being part of this park, we enjoyed some wonderful art along the way.
We even found a few friends as we rock-hopped our way back home.
Enjoy the videos of the spectacular word art we discovered. Decoding the mystery and figuring out the hidden messages was pretty motivating.
