An Afternoon at Shaw's Nature Preserve

We went to Shaw's Nature Preserve on Friday when the kids had a half day. We wanted to check out their outdoor classroom and take a hike. The kids had so much fun building with the wood blocks, climbing on the trees, and playing with the musical instruments. Then we went on a walk by the lake and through the forest. Gavin decided that the forest was a little to dark for him and wanted to get out of there because you know "Darth Vader lives on the Dark Side of the Forest." I love when he says that. We decided we would go back this summer and take a hike down to the river.
