Lost Maples





Now that the weather has changed and being outside is enjoyable even if you aren't surrounded by water to cool you down, we have been searching for outdoor adventures whenever we have the chance. This past Saturday, we took an hour and a half drive out a beautiful park called Lost Maples. We arrived around 8 am and there was a line to get permits into the park. We weren't expecting the weather to be on the chilly side and were glad to have a few fleeces stashed in the car. We're already planning our return trip.





Mia even had the chance to bust out her map skills that she learned this past week at school.

Our camera is being temperamental, so we have been using our iphones to take all our recent pictures. Convenient, but not very good quality. Luckily during our family picture photo shoot attempt, a nice gentleman/fellow hiker offered to take our picture on his fantastic camera. He emailed me the pictures.

We've been wanting to go camping there! I hear it's awesome. To camp, you have to plan it way in advance because it's always full. I never thought about going there just for the day. Great idea!

What a nice man to take your family's picture. I am glad you are enjoying such beautiful weather. Ohio is a little...gray lately.
