Briar Bush Nature Center Hike

Last week, we went on a hike with the MOMS Club at the Briar Bush Nature Center. We spent a lot of time there (about once a week) over the winter looking at the animals inside, but it was great to be able to walk on the trail and visit the pond outside finally.

One of the educators took us on a guided tour of the trail and then showed the kids a few animals inside before we were free to explore on our own. Ella brought along her own hiking stick and chose to wear her "purple dragonfly shirt...that one that Pappy got me [her] from his trip." She loved being outside, as usual.
