Deep in our Magical Forest

Posted date: today

Actual day of occurrence: sometime in June.

Our kids discovered the "Magical Forest" sometime this year. We don't know how long it's been there, but we think it is quite the marvel of nature, right here in our "own backyard". I finally had to go and see it for myself.

A little hand beckons me to come, not patiently. 

I was actually in awe of the work and dedication that went into carving paths through a stand of trees. For who? Lucky, lucky children, that's who. 

Each time I stop, he insists that I hurry to see everything.  

Adam brought us there in the Ranger and now gets to tour it just like a real tour bus driver. 

See- every time I stop to take a picture he impatiently yells that I hurry. [Although he was afraid that we would miss the Ranger leaving.]

Dirty little hands found a daisy which became mine to keep.

We did actually miss the Ranger and it was not a good moment in the history of the family. But the Ranger came back and we were able to laugh on the way home.
