Mom and Me Monday Hike: Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge

We have been enjoying some great hikes in the past few weeks. We were lucky to have very spring like weather for this one. The sunshine warmed us all up, so forgetting our jackets wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Solace

The views all around this hike were just beautiful because it was on a hill.

It was fun to find these words on the information boards throughout the hike.

Family

Alex discovered these mushrooms.

 At the viewpoint we found "home."

 Another gorgeous view.


 The sun streaming through all the trees was just so pretty.

We were at the view point, and there was this little trail leading to that tree. Alex wanted to go check it out. He got partway there, and came back. I asked, what happened? He said there was a bee.

There was a little mud, but for the most part it was dry.

 The sun really came out good toward the end.

I was trying to get a picture of our feet, but Alex dropped the water bottle at the same time. Looks like I was trying to get a picture of the water bottle. Kind of silly.

Cool tree.

The viewpoint

The kids wanted to climb the tree to get a picture. We never got a good picture, and the rest of the group was leaving without us.

The 3 kids along for the hike. 

Promise

 Everything looked so green (that was supposed to be).

He really enjoyed this hike.

We found a sundial.

 We also found a skeleton of some sort.

A beautiful hike on a beautiful day. I really like it that way.
