Sunday Adventures

We are taking Sundays to explore Philadelphia and the surrounding areas and have family time as well. Today we checked out a National Wildlife Refuge. We just caught the nature center 10 minutes before closing but even still it was a nice place and there were wild turkeys just outside the window. From there, we started walking on one of the many paths. It was a busy day, I assume, because of the warmer weather. We saw lots of birds and there were trail markers with information about the different species of plants and animals that could be seen on the walk. We also spotted a dead frog and a couple of dead fish. The kids thought it was all great. I loved the bridge that crossed the marsh/pond we were walking next to. We even spotted deer and raccoon prints in the mud near the bank of a stream. It was a great time.

Evelyn always loves the chance to be free and she just ran along. Joshua, loves the outdoors and he ran ahead of us, sometimes too far, but he was getting exercise. Mira was split between staying near us and heading off with her brother.
