We went to the nature park this morning. It was beautiful weather and we wanted to get some exercise. (Or as Daddy said, get me to use up some energy, whatever he meant by that.) So we headed over to the Alfred A. Ring park and set off on our adventure.
This is the bridge you have to cross from the parking lot.
I love it, I always look to see if any trolls live underneath.
(Little known fact about Daddy: Whenever anyone says "trip trap" - like from the Three Billy Goats Gruff story - he giggles! Yep,every time!)

After that we went exploring. Lela had a diaper accident so Mami and I were on our own.
It actually got pretty exciting. Towards the end of the trail we saw a whole bunch of black snakes - really big ones, too, probably 4ft or more. At first just one, then another, then it seemed like they were everywhere. We weren't sure if they were just black snakes (some kind of Racer?) or if they were water moccasins, because we were near a creek and those are pretty common in Gainesville... So we decided to let them have the trail and we turned around and headed back to wait for Daddy and Lela. We think that was the right decision!

Definitely a good choice. I hope your retreat was hasty.
