Yesterday we took a nature walk at a beautiful place called Glacial Park. It's a prairie area in Ringwood, IL, and was once filled with glaciers. It was great to see our boys enjoy new sights, like animal poop, bugs, rocks, crazy looking dragon flies who appeared to be mating, and wild plants that reached out and grabbed you as you walked by. We hiked up a small hill, and when we reached the top, the view was simply spectacular. We could see for miles, and the cool breeze was quite refreshing, especially for those of us who had been carrying a 40 pound boy on their shoulders.
Bible verses rushed to mind as we surveyed His creation, and Happi even sang the doxology. We had a snack of red and green grapes, took many pictures, and decided it was time to head back. I'm sure Hap will post pictures on her blog.
Even though the walk back to the van was tiring- did I mention I was carrying a 40 lb. little tank with me?- we really enjoyed our day at Glacial Park. We plan to go back and explore more in the future. What a great way to learn about God's handy-work.
Have a great Lord's day.
