Perfect Hike

We found a new favorite place to take the kids for a walk. We found the Weyanoke Bird and Wildflower Sanctuary. It is only 7 acres, and pretty much either fenced or adjacent to a stream, so the kids could run without getting lost. (It is also close to church and can be explored in about an hour, you can't get any better for little kids.) I got to introduce the kids to silver shillings and wild blackberries. They loved watching the birds and the butterflies. Their favorite part was one tree that had a horizontal branch that went over the creek. It was big enough for everyone to sit on and play "Balance Beam" It was also the perfect stop to take pictures.
