Nature hike

It's my goal to get Simon out in nature as much as possible so that when he's old enough, he'd rather go hunt for crawdads than watch TV.  So we went on a nature "hike" along Shoal Creek a few weeks ago.  Now, typically a hike will be fore at least a mile or so, but when your stride only takes up a foot at a time, you're lucky to move 100 yards.

Ahhhhh, nature!  And housing.  And some bum urine that we avoided.

This is not a concrete sidewalk...

In fact, it just keeps going on and on....

Hot on the trail of some snipe.

Or at least some pretty flowers to take back to mom.

These two will do.

All this hikin' works up a powerful appetite for snack.  Goldfish while looking at the fish.  Perfect.
