We went down to McCormicks Creek, a state park just outside of Bloomington, IN. Luckily the temperature was only 71 because the humidity was 95%. That made for a steamy, semi-foggy walk through the woods. As Grant said, "pooky" and "mysterious."
The trail we chose was a 2 mile loop to a Wolf cave. The caves have been closed to protect bats, so we were only able to peek in at the entrances. Even so, the boys loved exploring. We had a picnic lunch at one of the playgrounds and then checked out McCormick Falls on our way out of the park. We had a great time and are excited the kids enjoyed it too. Beckett was disappointed that we didn't bring his bike, but quickly found sticks and nuts on the ground. :-)
Checking out one of the many hollow trees.
Checking out one of the entrances to the cave.
Riley had a great time. Unfortunately, she found some sort of a plant filled with seed pods. Her paws and muzzle were completely covered in them.
"The cave goes that way..."
Beckett and Daddy checking out another entrance.
LOVE this pic. Beckett just pulled everyone in and smiled. :-)
Grant found this fossil on the rock - not sure it's really a fossil, but he thought it was.
This was Beckett on the whole walk - checking out all the stuff on the ground - sticks, nuts, mushrooms, leaves.
Trying to get a good pic by the falls...the platform just wasn't big enough to back up and get all of us.
Poor Riley. She likes to lay on the AC vents and while I was upstairs getting the kids down for naps, he tags got stuck in the vent. So, when I came downstairs, this is what I found. Silly girl. :-)
