Thursday was field trip day.
And it’s the perfect time of year to take one.
The flowers were AMAZING…
While we were standing on the bridge this big fellow surfaced.
And then a guy on his lunch break came to fish. He must have caught 25 of these in the 30 minutes we watched him fish. Each one he threw back into the river. He did catch a bass too and we saw a HUGE coy (sp?) at the bottom of the river near the rocks.
I wondered why this guy was so much fluffier than all his friends. Different kind? Likes his winter coat? Hmm….
This was a special treasure we found. Duck eggs
The ducks ate bread right from our hands.
These sweet fellows were the hit of the day.
We spent quite a while on the bridge watching and feeding them.
Son #2 found a squirrel nest way up high in a tree and pulled baby girl along since she’s broken her arm.
He even posed for a picture or two.
Don’t they look sweet???
Here’s one of the bridges where we saw the baby ducks.
And to our surprise the water park portion was open and running. At first it was "Lets see who can go through without getting wet." But that soon turned into "How wet can we get?"
See what I mean?
Not sure what this was at one time but it was a cool place to imagine knights and dragons.
This is on our way back to the car to go and get icecream.
And this one cracks me up because son ##1 is looking at that guy like he’s real.
See son #3 peeking out from behind the guy with glasses??? He’s a ham.
Now if this isn’t a place to rest and read a book I’ve never seen one.
Visit the Reedy River if you are ever near Greenville, SC. It’s a great place.
Oh my Julie, this whole post just makes me want to hop up and drive to SC! Tell me, what does the sun shining look like…we've had a week of rain here and no sun. I love the flowers and ducks and how wonderful that you guys found the duck nest. This is definitely my kind of field trip/nature walk…so glad you guys got to do it. Thanks for all the pictures!
Blessings and have a great weekend, Julie
Oh, that does look like a great place. I tell you what if for some reason I ever make it to South Carolina – I'll send you a note.
That looks like a really neat day. I'm glad you could preserve it. The duck eggs! What a find. Those fishes – what a cool pic. The bridges. The water. The statue. First rate. I'm glad you all had fun.

We were downtown yesterday. We had pizza and were on our way to the falls when it started raining. I would love to get our kids together. Maybe we could meet downtown soon. I'm glad your baby girl likes Julia's dress. Thanks so much!

Looks like a wonderful day. So sweet of the boys to pull sister along in the wagon. Caleb is changing so much as he's growing. Wow!
