| The week before the older boys left for my folks, they had Art in the Camp -- a three-morning free kid workshop program put on by the Minneapolis Art Institute. While they did that, I took Lincoln and Thea Belle to a new nature center I discovered through my friend Meagan Honigman. It is so close to us (Richfield) and never even knew it was there. It has a beautiful wooded area with nice-length trails around and through (with boardwalks) a marshlands. Right now most of the trails are under water because of this year's water table and the mosquitos are thick and intense. But the nature center is well-designed and kept and the trails that are there are well-maintained and the woods beautiful and thick. There is good parking and it's free. And as an added bonus, you are only blocks away from a Post Office, Rainbow Foods, and a Michaels (in case you need to stop and do an errand on the way or back). |
