The Riparian Preserve

We visited the Riparian Preserve Saturday, to do a little hiking, bird watching, tree climbing, playground playing.... and to see all the water that was collected there after our last big storm.

Maya, Aubree and Abbey. Last time we were here, the lake behind them was empty.

Kate-a-roo.

Ella looking for birds. There are usually lots of varieties... but the stormy weather must have them all in hiding.

There were some great trees for climbing... and plenty of monkeys to climb them.

Kate wanted to climb on things too... all by herself.

This park is great, becuase it is very unique. No traditonal play things here. The girls love to run along the walls, jump from them, climb through them, and run atop the large rattle snake up on the hill.
