Coen & I were in the outdoorsy spirit, and thanks to Bill & Maggi we have a year-round Minnesota State Park pass now, so we went on a hike in Flandrau. Here’s the play-by-play of our nice evening.
He was ready to go! It was a cooler day, a high of 77 degrees. There wasn’t much wind so the gnats were terrible, but not as bad if we kept walking. We even bugsprayed!
All strapped in and ready to go! Coen took hiking seriously. He also seriously hurt my back. :)
We had macaroni & cheese for our dinner then played around in the grass until the gnats were unbearable. Coen enjoyed yelling and waving at the tent campers.
The weather was sunny & gorgeous!
One of the smaller trees that was knocked/blown down in the storms. We couldn’t take the hiking path to the picnic area because there was HUGE tree (four times the size of this one) in the path. This tree was fairly easy to hop over.
We saw 12 wild turkeys—5 adults and 6 babies (turklets?) in all.
Oh, that only adds up to 11? The last one we saw was indistinguishable….
We smelled this one before we saw it. Yuck.
The walk down to the park is beautiful and it was very enjoyable.
This tree fell over and ripped up the sidewalk when it fell. It was about a 100’ tree. The rain loosened up the soil the day before the winds came, so a lot of trees tipped. God’s creation is powerful!
