After Pudge's gymnastics lesson, we decided to spend the day on a leisurely nature hike. The weather was beautiful and Papa and the kids wanted to cool off and explore in the creek which was low. So they spent quite a while looking under rocks (and finding sucker fish and other thing), skipping rocks, and finding frogs.
8 days overdue...
On the way out of the game preserve we slowed down to see the elk and bison.
This poor bison was "under veterinary care" and was covered in bugs and scratching itself on the fence to the point that it had bald spots.
Afterwards, we decided to take the kids to Premise Maid for ice cream as a treat before we will be having the baby. It was packed! The kids love Premise Maid and were so excited that we were able to eat outside surrounded by fireflies. All of the kids chose a scoop of birthday cake icecream (both the cake and the icecream are homemade) with different kinds of waffle cones.
Little Bear wanted a chocolate sprinkles cone
Pudge and Pequeño both chose rainbow sprinkles
(While we were eating, a big toad came along and was chasing fireflies in the little garden right next to where we were sitting! The kids loved watching it.)
We decided to take "the long way" home so we could drive by a lot of fields and watch the fireflies. It was amazing how many there were!
