Day 10: An Impromptu Nature Walk

Since me and Hunter weren't feeling all that great today, our plans to take a family hike at Usery Mountain this evening were changed to enjoying a fun impromptu nature walk at Red Mountain Park in Mesa instead. Hey, most of parenting is flexibility, right? The park has a .8 mile loop (we did it twice) that goes through a park area and then around a little lake and nature area. Typical of boys, Hunter and Andrew decided to seek out every creature living and at last tally we had found: rabbits, ducks, spiders, dragonflies, lizards (even a really big one that Daddy identified as Bearded Dragon lizard), ants of all sizes and a handful of other animals and bugs that are beyond my species identification skills. All in all, it was a fun night out with the family :)

As for our original plans, I'm sure we'll head out to Usery Mountain at some point in the next 30 days. There is a method to the 30 in 30 madness, even if it doesn't always seem that way!
