Last Saturday was beautiful, so we decided to take advantage of it and headed over to Shades State Park. Its only 20 minutes away and perfect for a nice hike. The only bad thing was that the bugs were HORRIBLE in the open areas, so while we were trying to eat our snack, play at the playground, and fish we kept having to swat away the bugs. It was driving us crazy because there were SWARMS of little gnats all over the place, so we mostly stayed in the shade of the trails where, for some reason, the bugs weren't bad at all. It wasn't too crowded at all and the trail was a lot of fun with some beautiful scenary. The kids loved all the stairs, but Kent didn't because he had to carry the backpack and Harrison since Harrison didn't want anything to do with me (notice he's not in any pictures with me!). I DID offer to take the backpack, but Kent said he was OK. What a great little day trip!
