Another fun after school LB adventure.  I love going to parks that we didn't even know existed!  There are so many in the Fairfax County area!  I can't wait to plant our box in one of our favorites!...
 
We had a great time searching for the two boxes.  The directions were very clear and the staircase that went down and up and wound around was pretty cool.  We didn't see any wildlife outside this time.  I think we scared away every bird in this park reknown for its birds (a five and a seven year old can be pretty loud...).  We did, however, get to see a snake eat a baby mouse (in the nature center!).  The park rangers were very nice and the nature center had some nice exhibits.
 
The grass trails on the hunt for box #2 were wide and my daughter did not trip over every root she found (that was box number 1...).  She came away with dirt on her knees, ink on her nose and a smile on her face!  Thanks!  BeMa
