A Walk

We had a nice walk at Rock Bridge State Park.  The girls had a great time exploring, and were fascinated by the stream.  Actually, I think they found the water interesting because I told them that it was too cold to get into it and explore.  Hailey was also fascinated by all of the leaves that have now fallen off of the trees.  I was hoping to do a project with leaves this year, like waxing leaves to make decorations, but it seems that the leaves here do not really change to pretty colors.  They just turn brown and fall off.  Anyway, there were lots of things to explore, like a hollow stump, a fallen tree, and some interesting rocks.  

Here are Madeline and Isabella gathering information about the cave.  
Hailey liked playing with all of the leaves.  I think she liked uncovering things to see what was under the leaves!
Madeline checked out some of the rocks.  She said that she found some fossils, after we got home.  Maybe next time she will share them with us!
This old tree was of great interest to Madeline and Isabella.  I just kept hoping it was not home to anyone.
Madeline found this old hollow stump and could not resist climbing inside.  Again, I was hoping it was not someone's home!
Here are the girls checking out the stream.  Madeline tried pouring water into the stream to see what would happen.
Madeline and Isabella could not resist the "balance beam"!
