Nature walk with my girls

  One of my favorite things about this area is how they have intermingled these nature paths throughout the area.  I'm surprised I haven't been on more of them.  In the last week I've tried two new paths with my girls. Once on a bike ride and the other just recently up the hill toward the reservoir.  It started as just a walk with the girls, a curiosity to see where the path went, and then (at little girl speed) 2 hours later my girls are whining that their legs are killing them. Honestly one of my favorite walks in a while. 

 The walk was mostly uphill and has some of the best views of the valley.  We saw a ton of dragonflies, grasshoppers, and butterflies. The path did end up next to the reservoir, would have loved to just jump in....another day.  Then we took the long-about way back to the house. Here are a few pics from our walk.

p.s. soo excited! my husband signed me up for another 6 weeks of bootcamp starting monday night. I've missed bootcamp, and need to get back to being in shape.
