So, this is where we found the ticks. Since my last post, I think we've found at least 60 on Cait and 2 on me. We have since learned they were probably seed ticks. Lots and little. Yuck.
But, the day at MNP was a great day. My sister, Les, invited us to a Nature Hunt with her family and my sister, Jess, and her family.
We played at the park for a little bit then Les had brown paper bags for each kid. On the front was a scavenger hunt list and they could put items they collected into the bags.
We got a little lost on the trails but no one seemed to mind much. Here, the kids were up on a lookout area.
After our hike, we ate lunch in the visitor's center. It was a nice break from the heat.
They have lots of fun things to look at inside, too.
After lunch, the kids made collages and played on the park a little bit more.

Then...nap time for some tired children (and mommy)! Thanks, Les, for such a fun day of exploring!

Looks like an absolutely wonderful day! We will not let the ticks spoil the memory of a good day in the park.
It was a lot of fun...sorry you guys had the ticks, yuck indeed!
We were so glad to have you guys & Jess & them join us! It was fun. And those last pictures of me in the grass are where I collected my chiggers! I still have the marks but thankfully they stopped itching a couple days ago. :/ Sorry about the ticks- we'll have to wear repellent next time & stay clear of wood piles.
