Nature Trails and Green Bottles

Mark took a few days off last week and we made sure we took full advantage of his time with us. We visited the zoo, and took several long walks through the neighborhood and local park. But the highlight of our time was finding a gem called Fullersburg Woods Forest Preserve, less than five minutes from our house. It is a shame we didn’t discover this earlier—but better late than never.

The Fullersburg preserve is so nice and very large. There are several trails ranging from 1.5 miles to over 8 miles for bikes and runners. We took the yellow trail and probably ended up walking a deliberately slow 2.5 miles. As you can see, our sweet Carmella didn’t care much for the beautiful view of the creek below. She was too interested in daddy’s green water bottle.
