Today we enjoyed some much needed cousin and family time as we hiked through a sea of green forest. The Pisgah National Forest was awesome! First we stopped at the visitor center and ranger station for information. While there the ranger pointed out a very unique moth that had landed on a leaf that was similar in color... A camouflage science lesson at its finest!
Then we headed to the discovery center and adventure trail. At the discovery center the girls completed a scavenger hunt, and they all received a wooden nickel for the superb performance!
Then we stopped at the local food spot. It was fantastic. We sat at a table outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. They had tree blocks and rocking chairs.. And the food was good to boot too! (My fried green tomato BLT was delish!)
Then we went for a hike on a paved trail... And along the way we encountered hills, waterfalls, an out of service locomotive for play and climbing, tree stump jumping steps, a log horse, old style road diggers that provided oodles of entertainment and balance beam action... And a rattlesnake!! It was a fabulous day.
No pictures of the snake!! We were too busy running by it!
