State park #3 if you're keeping count.
#1 William OBrien (Marine)
#2 Interstate (Taylors Falls)
A hop, skip and a jump.
Ok, about an hour's drive.
Let's go for a walk.
Actually, let's grab one of those free kits for kids while we're at it.
Magnifying glass, wildflower identification book.
That was a good idea for about 5 minutes.
And then it was ALL ABOUT THE WHINING.
I tell ya!!
Based on the trail map I've marked above, over a mile of constant, unrelenting whining. My legs hurt. I'm hungry (we ate lunch an hour ago!). I don't want to walk. There's a bug! I'm hot. I'm cold. I'm hungry (here, have some banana chips). I don't like banana chips! ETC.
But I hoped the site toward the end of the walk would help.
First we came upon this tree.
With a built in ledge.
Starting to whine less.
A smile?
Then not too far down the path we got to the waterfall.
I got my Mother's Day photo with the kids.
Twice!
And I'm looking forward to exploring more this summer!
