WW: Snails {Linky}

We went to Eugene T. Mahoney State Park for our yearly Family Reunion on my Mom's side. Sadly attendance is less and less every year. Happily my Grandpa (age 93) has 2 brothers still alive. If not very many people show up, at least those 3 have a chance to get together!

We went for a hike before having lunch. What the boys found to be the most exciting were the snails they found.

I have to admit that they are pretty cute when they come out of their shell. Just not all the way out - like slugs.

Mica called his Turbo, off the movie.

Isaak tried to grab as many as he could, and longed to keep them. We said, "Sorry put them back in nature."

What's a tiny creature in nature that you like?

Nature's Floor

We had fun hiking at Mahoney State Park, while we were on our Staycation!

Some of nature's floor was pretty interesting!


These two shots are not the same thing at, but they look similar. One shot is a mushroom, the other was something growing on a tree trunk.

We saw a few creepy, crawly things. My favorite was a snail. The boy's liked looking at it!

This bird got super close to Isaak.

Plants and flowers.

I'm pretty sure this plant is illegal to grow in the state of Nebraska! It was all over the park.

Mica and Daddy captured these shots when they went off trail.

Back on the trail.

Both are steps. We hauled up the roots. They were our steps.
