A Walk in the Woods

Today the munchkins and I went to the 'Tire Swing Park,' aka Lake Needwood.  After playing at the playground for a little while, 
we decided to go for a walk in the woods.
 While we were still at the playground, we saw this 'bug' that looked like a spider with antennas.  He was crawling around quite quickly, so it was hard to get a good picture of him.
Then, we stopped by a bridge close to Lake Needwood...
 They look so grown up in this picture... when did they get so big?
 We also saw some geese enjoying the lake water
 After that, we were off to take a hike in the woods.
As we were walking, we saw a really big rock... Buddy wanted to climb up it, but I was able to talk him out of it.
Let's just say it was a bit too steep and tall for him to safely climb.
 The munchkins loved the creek along the path.  
 We saw a ladybug crawling along on a rock.

 Buddy loved the water...
 They found a few clam shells

 As we were walking back to the car, these little mushroom-like plants along the path caught my eye.  They looked like little orange golf tees.
A beautiful wild flower 
We had a fun time walking and exploring the great outdoors this morning.  It was a wonderful late Spring day to take a walk in the woods.
