Hiking Around Harris Lake


Today we went on a hike around Harris Lake on the Peninsula Trail. The weather was beautiful for a hike and picnic and it felt great to be outdoors. We hiked about 2 miles through a beautiful mixed oak/hickory forest and a even the endangered long leaf pines. We saw plenty of wildlife along the way. The wildlife we saw today are some of the same critters that are in the books that Mom and Dad read to me. We saw ducks, toads, dragonflies, turtles and even a 5 foot red-bellied water snake. It was great to see them in their natural habitat.

This is the yellow-bellied slider that we saw crawling out of a pond.

Maya - glad that you're having fun and getting to enjoy the great outdoors. You're lucky - some kids don't get to do that fun stuff. Your Mom looks great. Hope you're letting her get some rest these days. Happy One Month!!
