A Sunday Hike

Today was the day that we arranged for Scott to do the spraying that kills yucky insects (and good spiders and bees and such too, but my heebie jeebies seem to be getting worse, so please forgive me for hurting the good ones as well.). Not a fun job, but it had to be done.

The fun part was that the boys and I climbed in the van, along with Adelaide and drove about five minutes from here to hike and run in the park which is along the Middle Oconee River. Both boys fell in the water while playing in the shoals at the creek area. It wasn't nearly as cold as Lake Michigan so they really didn't mind. We saw a brown toad, two young Five-lined Skinks, and several wildflowers. You will enjoy the photos more than my descriptions.

I didn't know the name of those little blue and black guys- thanks! We have some really great hiking around here, don't we? I am going to try and get us out as much as possible now that the heat is breaking.
