Scott was busy studing for summer finals so I decided to take the kids to the park to get them out of his hair for a few hours. We ended up packing a picnic and spending the whole day in the Emerald Necklace.
At one point on our drive we had to stop for a flock of turkey crossing the street. When I explained why we stopped the kids looked at the birds and declared that turkeys are on farms and the birds must be baby osterich....you know because some how in their mind it's ok that baby osterich are running about in N.E. Ohio.
We really are so fortunate to have such a spectacular park system. I used to spend every free moment I had in one of the various parks. The kids and I visited my 2 favorites, Squaw rock and Squires Castle. I was expecting alot of belly aching about tired legs when it came to hiking but both kids were real troopers and Leah kept climbing higher and higher, leaving her poor breathless mama in the dust.

That looks incredible! We went to a state park in East TN a couple of weeks ago and it was nice but nothing like what I see in your pictures. Looks like you guys had so much fun.
