We spent this afternoon at Lillie Park because fresh air and exercise are things we’ve been lacking lately. One more “slunsh” of snow (as Drew calls it), and I may lose my mind.
A few minutes of playing on the actual playground and then we were off to explore the trails and wind our way around the lakes.
A few days ago, Drew exclaimed, “I just WISH I had a nature collection.” So he took the opportunity to add twigs, acorns, dead leaves, and rocks to his Awesomely Dirty Basket of Nature. And I mourned remembered the precious Easter basket it had been a few days ago.
The most interesting part of our excursion was finding sap, watching Drew’s vaudeville performance each time he held a stick in two hands, and measuring the depth of the lake.
We wore ourselves out, ran a few before-birthday errands, and then headed home.
I absolutely loved having warmer weather (it was 45 degrees while we were at the park – but that is MUCH better than the past few weeks) today and now I’m itching to visit more trails in Ann Arbor during April.
