Unexpected lovely Wednesday

The boys were supposed to be in LA last week, so I scheduled a haircut for Wed morning. But the boys weren't able to go b/c Henry had been sick....so they were with me. I still drive back to Allen to get my hair cut, so I asked on Facebook for a park recommendation in the area for that morning. The only recommendation was Dayspringg Nature Preserve http://www.cityofallen.org/index.aspx?NID=1312....and the pictures on the Internet did not look too promising. But the description seemed interesting, so I decided to give it a shot. So glad we did!


Behind the play area, there was a beautiful creek to explore!

We decided to follow the creek and explore.

We had to crawl under these vines at one point. Henry named this "The Place where Indians would have lived."

Leo found lots of raccoon tracks. At this point, he informed Henry that Billy the Exterminator says that raccoons will "tear your throat out," which scared Henry to death...and he is still asking about it 5 days later. *sigh*

Leo was so excited to find these frog eggs. They are the two lines at the left that sort of look like a necklace. I was pretty impressed that he found these and knew what they were. When I looked up "frog eggs" on Google images, there were lots of pictures just like this. Leo took this picture.

Leo wanted to take this last picture of the creek as we left.
