Field Trip Wednesday - Erwin Park

Since we have been doing our field trip days, the kids have wanted a day were we didn't do anything else but letterbox. So, we found a park in McKinney that had about 6 different letterboxes hid around it and went there to send the day.

And we are off! Our letterboxes were hid along a biking trail, so the kids lots of energy out today chasing each other along the path.

Here we are at one of the boxes getting our stamp. We also brought along our friends the Harris' for the day.

Kathy and I loved this tree. If was a huge tree that we came across on our hike. It was covered with these huge knots. We thought it would be so cute to take a picture of it and hang it our house and when the kids are "naughty", make them sit under the "knotty" tree.

After our hike we had a picnic of snacks and watermelon. I love watermelon it is one the foods that associate with summer. Our family has eaten a ton of watermelon this year. Tyson wants us to grow our own watermelon next summer - we'll see if that happens. :)

Of course if there are funny looking bugs, you will find the kids looking at them and investigating.
