A Beautiful Morning at the Park!

We were up early today, driving across town, because Eileen told us our favorite annual rummage sale was taking place today in our old neck of the woods. Unfortunately, it wasn't today. Fortunately, I had thrown my camera in the car, so Kayli and I drove straight to the park!
We reached our favorite park by 9:00 a.m., and WOW, this is the time to come here! Hardly anyone was here! The weather was perfect, with the sun shining, but not yet hot. The only sounds that could be heard were those of nature. We began our walk through the garden...

the scenery was breathtaking!

we walked by the ducks...

and hung out by the side of the pond for a while...

Kayli wanted to see if we could spot any frogs, so we started our walk around the pond. First, we navigated our way across these fun stepping stones...

then, Kayli decided to get a bird's eye view...

We could hear the croaking coming from the lily pads...

then, suddenly, I hear Kayli gasp, then whisper-yell "Hurry, mom, look!" Nice job on the camouflage, Mr. Frog!

a little further along the path we spotted this guy...

another frog, ohhh, this is fun...

Kayli took a turn with the camera...

then, we spotted this cute little fellow...

this has been the BEST nature walk EVER!

now that we know the "magic time" for this park, we will make that our plan next time!
