Sick Day at Moccasin Lake

I feel fine but my nose is running running running so I got to stay home today with Mommy and Daddy and Emmerson!

We needed something to do since I am not “acting” sick to pass the time on a beautiful day. We headed to Moccasin Lake Nature Park for some hiking and exploring.

They had a near interactive display about animal tracks and identifying other things you find in the nature park.

We were looking at the old fashion hydroponic garden and I spied a new friend!

He was hiding under one of the garden boxes.

Oddly, I found him before Mom and Dad! Maybe because I like to look in holes!

On our hike we saw alligators, birds, spiders and many other small creatures. Suddenly Mommy stopped and pointed out some tracks in the sand.

We bent down for a closer look.

I felt my magnifying glass would help me see even better! I decided the tracks were either from a opossum or a raccoon. I think they were a raccoon, we followed them to the trash can! Raccoons like to steal food and garbage. I I am voting raccoon! What science skills I am learning! 🙂

Mommy and I wandered more as Daddy pushed Emmerson and manned the camera! 🙂

What a pretty day for a nature walk. Maybe my nose should run more often!
