A few weeks ago, we took advantage of a beautiful late summer afternoon to go hiking on a Civil War Battlefield that has been turned into a 5 mile nature trail.We hiked about two miles.
We invited our homeschool group to join us and two other families came along.
A small creek runs through the property.
Interpretive signs mark the way.
Benches in the shade allowed for a resting spot to share silly bands with friends.
Bike trouble is no fun. When the chain came off, this guy ditched his bike behind a tree to be picked up on the way back!
One of our families is a Dad who homeschools his sons. He rode his bike and so most of the boys rode on ahead with him.They set their bikes up on the bridge for us to admire when we caught up to them.
Some of the trails are paved but most are packed gravel.There were some pretty sites to see! The changing shadows reflected the season of Autumn approaching.
Because we are not hooked into a curriculum that has deadlines for the first time in years, I am making it a point to get outside and enjoy life! We work hard at home each day; but if an opportunity arises to be with other people and to see or do something fun, I want to go! This hike was just the thing on a Friday afternoon to wrap up a hard-working week!
