Deer Creek State Park 📍

Yesterday we took the animals on a little hike at Deer Creek State Park. Luckily, it’s only about 10 minutes up the road from where we live, so it’s super convenient.

Storybook Trail (cover pic) was actually so cute. It’s designed for families with small children, and it has informational plaques throughout the short trail, which all also have one page of a children’s book per plaque.

Bella found a stick (pictures 2 and 3) that she liked and carried it for about a mile or so? She was so proud of herself the entire time she had it. 🥹

We’re trying to get Corn Chip (pictures 5,7, and 8) more used to her harness and to get her out and about in nature. So far she isn’t a huge fan of the harness, but she loves to explore the outside!

We saw a decent amount of wildlife on our walk/hike. Plenty of tracks from white tailed deer (who also made an appearance themselves) and little ground hogs (last pic) that were hanging out in pairs just snacking and having a good time.

Overall it was a cute and nice way to spend the afternoon. ☺️
