Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge

This weekend's out-and-about adventure took us to Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge for a nature walk. Joey and Jeff had been there once before for a field trip, but this was the rest of our first time.

Hubby was convinced I would love it because the paths are paved - he underestimated my love for trees more than paved paths though.  Despite the lack of shade, and my own lack of sunglasses, it was a nice easy trek and has great potential for bird watching.  Per the signage it is even possible to spot a river otter or a fox which would be fun. 

Joey was more than happy to play tour guide, having been there before.  Logan didn't really love that plan and spent most of the walk trying to get in front of Joey. Emmie spent most of the walk looking for ladybugs.

Overall we didn't see too many critters but I blame that on the time of day.  Definitely want to check it out early in the morning (and by "early" I mean 9 or 10 a.m. because I don't really do early.
